Business Case

Last updated: Sep 27, 2022

Summary

Salubata recycles plastic waste into low-cost shoes. In order to create a closed loop, used shoes are converted into other valuable products. Salubata invented and patented a modular shoe design. With this design, customers can pay less to have different shoe uppers and one sole to complement it. 5% of every shoe purchased is committed to feeding starving children and to empowering women in underserved communities
