Impact Calculator
Not all footwear qualifies for earnings, but every pair still makes an impact. Here’s how we calculate the impact of your footwear:
Landfill Diversion: When footwear is reused or recycled, it reduces pollution and prevents growing landfill volume.
CO2e Averted: By extending the life of a shoe or recovering its materials, we avoid the carbon impact associated with manufacturing a new pair.
Water Savings: Manufacturing new shoes requires significant water use, from material production to assembly. When footwear is reused or recycled, those resources are conserved.
