Sandals in "Newspaper Blue"

The material used in Jade Planet, Inc. sandals is made from recycled polythene bags that are picked up from the streets of cities in India every day. No colors or dyes are used. The many colors of waste plastics that are recovered are combined to achieve the resultant colors of the textiles. When the plastic bags have been cleaned, sorted, and warmed to melt together into textiles, a newspaper is introduced and pressed against the warm plastic. The image on the newspaper is then transferred to the surface, much like the process of transferring an image with Silly Putty®.

Compared to conventional recycling process the proprietary process used in making the textiles in our sandal and handbags uses much less energy and causes no pollution. Making a market for these textiles helps reduce the environmental problems caused by plastics, while collecting, cleaning and sorting the waste plastics provides an income stream for the urban poor.
