  • This company is making endlessly recyclable shoe soles from Mediterranean cork!
    Aug 12 2023

    Series 3, episode 14 of the Sustainability Champions Podcast! 

    Introducing David Even, the Co-Founder of PRIMAL Soles, a company that specialises in making circular cork insoles which are endlessly reusable.

    According to Circular Online, 23 billion pairs of shoes are made each year and 22 billion pairs are thrown into landfill. With sneakerhead and trainer consumption only growing every year - more of what goes into our shoes is just ending up in landfills. 

    Shoes are one thing, but shoe insoles themselves are contaminating the environment by emitting chemicals into the soil and groundwater. 

    So, what is the solution to this problem?

    PrimalSoles shoes believe they have the answer. 

    PRIMAL Soles are CO2 negative and endlessly recyclable high performance cork insoles. The bottom of each insole is made from recycled cork and footwear waste. Made for a lifetime of maximum comfort without the environmental footprint.

    What makes it even better is you can return your PRIMAL Soles and reuse the material endlessly. 

    With Carbon neutral shipping on all orders, now that we at SC have discovered this brand, we will be using what David and his team have made in our shoes going forward. A small change with such a huge impact!

    Introducing Eilecia Bovard - EU Climate Pact Ambassador and CEO & Co-Founder of The Perfect Farm. Perfect Farm is a company that specialises in helping farmers and corporations use their platform to enable EU livestock farmers to find funding, solutions providers and supplemental revenue channels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the new Industrial Emissions Directive, IED, 2027. 

    To reduce emissions to meet the 2030 climate agenda will require innovative thinking, backed by proper education.

    We have shown Tomorrow University on our channel earlier this year to understand their approach to educating and training learners with the knowledge to become, as they put it, ‘Change Makers’.

    As part of her experience studying at Tomorrow University this year, Eilicia will be finishing her Masters in September and looking to scale her start-up with the vision to create a platform that creates a more sustainable, thriving and resilient agricultural sector that protects the planet’s resources and animal welfare.
