Truly nice to see advertisement for this CO2 friendly shoe😊
Traveling on the train between Stockholm and Gothenburg and seeing this nice advertisement for a shoe partly produced by recycled material and with the lowest CO2 footprint in the industry💚 Really encouraging to see that you are partners with We Don’t Have Time as well😊

Thanks for the shout-out and the discussion here. We don't see ourselves as part of the fashion industry - in our view there's something inherently unsustainable in a business model which relies on creating needs. Don't buy a product you don't need. We try to build our products on a basis of functionality and performance, making footwear for people that wants to get outdoors every day, while minimizing the footprint and adding the element of style - looks that will last for a long time. If we succeed... Well, that's not really for us to tell you, but we promise that we don't make them ugly on purpose :) When it comes to the price, you have to pay a certain "climate premium". Firstly, because choosing materials and process with a lower footprint is more expensive (absurdly enough, higher footprint options is still the standard) and secondly because we have incorporated an internal pricing on CO2 at €100/ton. Moving early into a World where carbon is properly priced. This we use for our giving through 1% For the Planet and investing in renewable energy.

@rick_m_witan but Rick, people tend to use shoes, especially in Sweden, or am I wrong? I don't see how Icebug is creating a need here 🤔

It's a good thing to point out! The other thing is the price. Though I don't know the price of these shoes here. Apart from that this is a beautiful initiative!
