How to recycle your Crocs
I won't get into the ins and outs of whether or not the chunky shoes are a fashion faux-pas, but the Crocs phenomenon now looks likely to be as much a feature of spring as crocuses. A lot of plastic goes into making Crocs, so what is the most eco-friendly way to dispose of them? Well, there is in fact a dedicated Crocs recycling scheme in place, so the horrific prospect of mountains of the things piling up all over the countryside is thankfully the thing of nightmares. Read on to find out more!
Fat Shoes, an online Crocs retailer, has joined up with Solesunited to make it really easy to send in your old crocs. The first programme of its kind, I can see how this service is much-needed given the prevelance of Crocs in the wild!
The scheme lets you give back your worn-out crocs shoes to be recycled into new shoes and they will be donated to people in need around the world. How does it work? Pop your Crocs in a "Return and Recycle" bag provided at a cost of £2.50 and they will be sent to SolesUnited where they are sorted, ground up and made into new recycled shoes. The full details on how to do this are here.
