The difference between Vegan, Sustainable and Eco Friendly sneakers

In short we’ll explain the difference between the terms Vegan, Sustainable en Eco Friendly.

What is a Vegan Product? What makes a shoe vegan?

When a sneaker is labeled “vegan”, it means there’s no animal harm involved in any step of the design, development, production, and distribution process. This means no materials of any animal origin are used. The global organization is called Peta and all info from them you can find on their website.
Peta stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PETA opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview, and focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry.

What is a Sustainable Product? What makes a Product Sustainable?

A sustainable sneaker can be described as a product where the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, and selling processes have been performed in such a way that minimizes negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities, and consumers, and are economically sound.

What is an Ecological product? What makes a shoe Eco Friendly?

In many reports or experts’ notes, the terms Sustainable shoes and Sustainable shoes are mixed up. Let’s say that these terms are indeed very similar. Eco-Friendly or Eco-Friendly sneakers are also taking into account the afterlife of the shoe. (on top of all other sustainable features)
What is done when a shoe is worn or broken? Do we throw it in the garbage? Do we recycle shoes? Or do the brands that made the sneakers also offer a circular solution.
The circular economy in the shoe business means the brands collect the shoes and separates the parts for compost and mixed waste. Or the brand reuses the old shoes to make new shoes.
When a sneaker brand achieves to be really zero waste, they can claim they are Eco Friendly.
