EP99: The future of sustainable footwear - Fulton
Background
The footwear industry accounts for 1.4% of global carbon emissions. For context, the entire aviation industry accounts for 2% of global carbon emissions. The plastics and foams used to make our shoes are almost as damaging to our planet as the emissions created from operating tens of thousands of flights across the globe each day!
