It's inevitable that at some point in time your flip flops are going to be at the end of their useful life for you.
At Indosole, we pride ourselves on producing shoes that last a lot longer than many on the market - and this comes down to our revolutionary SETT technology where we recycle used tires back into a super durable sole.
Every year hundreds of thousands of shoes are discarded in Singapore - either sent to landfill or incinerated releasing toxic fumes into the air.

It is easy to find many programs that take used shoes, IN GOOD CONDITION, to be redistributed to those in need. However, you still want to do something meaningful with the shoes that are not in good condition.
ActiveSG Shoe Recycle Program
The ActiveSG shoe recycle program is a permanent shoe waste collection eco-system, part of a nationwide effort to recycle used rubber soles from sports shoes and slippers into new materials to build a more sustainable future for ourselves and Singapore.
Rubberized and elastomeric shoe waste is recycled into infrastructure materials for sports facilities such as running tracks, playgrounds and fitness corners; as well as potential materials fillers or gym mats and protection paddings.
What type(s) of shoes are accepted for the collection drive?
All rubberised shoes including sports shoes, school shoes and football boots without metal studs are accepted. Rubberized slippers and sandals without metal parts may be accepted too
What condition(s) must my shoe be before I drop it off?
Shoes should be dry and generally clean when dropped off. We do not encourage the donation of soiled shoes to avoid contamination.
