When it comes to sustainability, typical shoes miss all the marks. Loaded with virgin petroleum-based materials and requiring generations to break down in the landfill, shoes are a significant source of waste. But shoe brand Loci is dedicated to changing that with a line of sneakers that are made from recycled materials and are proudly vegan. Not only does Loci avoid animal-derived products in the making of its shoes, but the business is also dedicated to “protecting and conserving sea life.” To meet this mission, Loci has a program called Buy One, Save One in which it donates 10% of profits to nonprofit organizations that work to protect marine animals.
