Okabashi, a family-owned sustainble footwear company based in Georgia, has implemented closed-loop manufacturing processes, using materials that might have otherwise gone to waste, thus reducing waste, improving competitiveness, and developing innovative processes and systems. Okabashi’s sustainability efforts encompass product lifecycle considerations, including the use of recycled or biological materials and recycling post-consumer shoes into new ones. They aim to create a circular economic model for their products, which involves using renewable and recycled resources, designing for longevity, and facilitating remaking and recycling.
