"95% of pairs thrown away in France end up incinerated or buried in the ground
Astrid, co-founder
0 waste
9 pairs of shoes are thrown away every minute, 8 will end up in the wild.
So we created a circular model by proposing to our customers to send us back their worn out Angarde for free to recycle it.
Recycled materials are preferred
Circularity is our raison d'être.
Circularity is based on the idea that nothing should be thrown away, everything should be reused. Concretely, it starts with the design of our models from recycled materials. We favor a maximum of recycled materials and sourced in Europe, to avoid producing new polluting materials (eg polyester) or to avoid promoting intensive agriculture (eg cotton).

We recycle your used pairs
This is our ultimate goal: to recycle all your used pairs rather than throwing them away. Why? 90% of used pairs are incinerated or thrown away. An ecological disaster.
So we suggest you send us your used pairs for free to transform them into recycled rubber that will be used to produce new soles for our eco responsible sneaker model. We also offer you 15% off your next online order to encourage you to think about it. Easy no? ;-) The opportunity to discover other products among our open or closed shoes, our espadrilles or our vegan sneakers.

We are also working for a zero waste coastline
For several years, we have been supporting the NGO Surfrider Foundation Europe which fights daily to preserve the oceans from all forms of pollution. Thanks to 1% For The Planet, we donate 1% of our turnover to Surfrider every year, whether our results are good or bad. We also organize waste collections to protect the coastline alongside Surfrider: moments of conviviality with the team for a great cause!
