Global footwear production has reached roughly 22 billion pairs annually, most made with plastic that never break down. The impact on people and the planet is staggering. So we asked: what if shoes could be made from plants instead? The Ripple Shoe is our first case study.

Every year in the US, 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away, many made from plastic that will outlast all of us. But not anymore! We're launching the first shoe made with Liquidplant, our 100% plant-based alternative to plastic. Coming soon. #EarthDay2025

Thanks to @sxsw for showcasing Liquidplant, our 100% plant-based, performance alternative to plastic. It was an amazing weekend! instagram.com/reel/DG_LGwovx…
