Sustainability:
Rubber: Natural rubber is extracted from the hevea brasiliensis tree by ethical "shucking" (removing the milky sap from the bark). Thus, trees are never damaged during the production of Cariuma shoes
Organic Cotton: Organic farming protects workers, soil and water from toxic pesticides. The cotton used by the Cariuma brand is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard
Cork: Cork is a natural and sustainable material. To obtain it, it must be carefully scraped from the cork tree so that the tree remains intact and can form new bark
Oil Mammon: Mammon is a plant-based and organic alternative to petroleum
Recycled PET: The vast majority of plastics used in Cariuma shoes, laces, tags and threads come from recycled plastic bottles. Recycling, reducing and repurposing is the only responsible way forward. Cariuma is certified Global Recycled Standard
Leather and suede: Leather and suede are responsibly sourced in Argentina, Thailand, Brazil or China. None of the premium material comes from the Amazon or any area deforested for cattle farming. 100% of the water used for leather and suede in Cariuma shoes is recycled and reused
Box: The box and shoe protection paper are made from 100% recycled materials
Chemical dyes: For dyeing the materials, the Cariuma brand has chosen bluesign®-certified substances. Working with bluesign® also helps the factory operate more efficiently, reduces water consumption and helps control pollution
