Allbirds is unwinding what it calls the world’s first net zero shoes!
M0.0NSHOT hightop sneakers, newly launched by Allbirds, use garnered stuff to achieve a net carbon footprint of 0.0 kg CO2. Moreover, Allbirds is summoned to copy the rest of the world’s fashion, giving away the “recipe” for free.
Allbirds UK has worked to reduce carbon across businesses and products for years. Further, in 2020, Allbirds became the first comfort shoe fashion brand to label 100% of its products with carbon footprints.
In Spring 2024, the comfort shoes will shoot down to hit shelves. Besides, the entire collection will comprise various carbon-negative merino types of wool and sugarcane-derived green EVA. Further, the Allbirds brand logo integrates biodegradable methane-capture bioplastic.
The prolonged efforts by Allbirds London to make sneakers with the ambition of mitigating carbon emissions and making comfy shoes with carbon-neutral and biobased SuperLight foam encompassed development in 2018.
Jamie McLellan, a design lead on the project at Allbirds, said, “We didn’t just make the world’s first net zero carbon shoe. We also made the second, third, fourth net zero carbon shoe, and so on, as we explored different prototypes to create an appropriate visual identity for this milestone”.
What’s more striking is that Allbirds has laid down the procedures of sustainable processes as an open-source project through its ‘Recipe B0.0K’. That inspiratory thought offers an all-inclusive guide to every step of the M0.0NSHOT process.
Additionally, Allbird’s co-founder at the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, Tim Brown, said, “Unlike the space ‘race’, this is a relay—we’re all on the same side.”
He added that the company’s efforts would be “meaningless” without others following suit. “[W]hich is why we felt compelled to open-source our learnings, so others can pick up the baton and take us forward.”
