Calzado Closed Loop

Calzado para la economía circular

Editor's Choice Winner

Closed Loop Footwear es una zapatilla modular sin pegamento diseñada para un público amplio que busca soluciones de economía circular en el calzado. Permite el montaje "hágalo usted mismo", la reparación sencilla y el desmontaje eficiente para una máxima reciclabilidad. La producción utiliza impresión 3D descentralizada y materiales innovadores como Bananatex y cuero de cáñamo (Revoltech LOVR), minimizando los residuos, la sobreproducción y la distancia de transporte.

“Closed Loop Footwear” presents a clear and convincing vision of truly circular shoe design. Its modular, glue-free construction enables repair, disassembly, and high-quality recycling, while decentralized micro-manufacturing supports local value creation and reduces overproduction. Innovative materials like Bananatex and hemp-based alternatives further strengthen its regenerative approach. A smart, scalable concept that redefines responsibility in the footwear industry.
