Recycling | WORK SHOE

GAIA circular is happy to help you recycle by setting up a total concept. We are happy to help you on your way to circular business operations and a sustainable future. As a company you thus contribute to achieving our Global Goals for the year 2030.

We collect all common work clothing, work shoes and PPE by using our "RESOURCE BOX". All these materials are allowed together in this "RESOURCE BOX". That means no longer a separate collection means for PPE or shoes or even product-related work clothing. We like to keep it clear and easy for your employees, that means all products to be recycled in 1 collection means our "RESOURCE BOX".

The "RESOURCE BOXES" are then emptied in one of our sorting centers and the collected products are sorted. In doing so, we also make use of the use of social employment and the support of people who are disadvantaged in the labor market.

Circular Footwear Alliance

GAIA circular is a partner of the Circular Footware Alliance (CFA). Our spotted shoes are offered to CFA for recycling. Our goal is a circular economy in which no more raw materials are lost. All products are designed in such a way that the parts or materials from which they are made can be reused after delivery and can be used as work shoes or as new raw materials in other products.

Circular design

For work shoes, too, a good recycling process mainly depends on the nature and composition of the materials supplied. In short, the extent to which products can be recycled circularly depends solely on the circularity of the design and the materials used.
