At Alfa, we believe that sustainability is not just a trend, but a responsibility. Aware of the need to preserve our planet and its resources, we are committed to producing footwear in an ethical and environmentally responsible manner.
Sustainable and Recycled Materials:
We prioritize the use of ecological and recycled materials, such as organic cotton, sustainable, chromium-free leathers, and recycled fabrics created with polyester yarns from plastic waste collected at sea.
LWG Certified Leathers:
We only work with leathers that are LWG (LeatherWorkingGroup) certified, which guarantees responsible production practices and minimizes environmental impact throughout the value chain.
This non-profit organization aims to increase transparency regarding the conditions of leather factories and intermediaries, promoting sustainable changes. This includes the elimination of potentially hazardous substances used by leather manufacturers, as well as the reduction of water and energy consumption. Furthermore, workplace safety is regularly monitored. To achieve these goals, LWG created an audit protocol for sustainable and responsible leather production, already implemented in over 15% of global leather production.
Organic Shoe Bag:
We offer our customers a bag made from organic cotton to store their shoes.
This option reduces environmental impact, as the production of this material uses resources and materials with a low environmental impact, allowing us to maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic pesticides and fertilizers, and contribute to greater diversity in organic farming.
Shoe box made from recycled materials:
The box our shoes are shipped in is made entirely from recycled and biodegradable materials, reducing and minimizing waste and our environmental footprint.
Recyclable Shipping Bag:
The bags we use to ship our orders are made of plastic to ensure strength and durability, thus protecting the shoes, but they are recyclable and can be reused in a variety of ways.
Waste Management:
In addition to standard recycling – separation of paper, cardboard, and glass – other waste, such as leather waste, is also recycled and reused to produce new raw materials or even to generate energy.
Commitment to the Future:
We are committed to continuously improving our production processes and are always seeking increasingly sustainable solutions.
We believe the footwear industry can be an agent of positive change for the planet, and we’re doing our part to make that a reality.
