Eco-Friendly Flip Flops

Looking to savor the last weeks of summer with fresh flip flops? Try a pair that will limit your environmental footprint: Feelgoodz. Described by company founder and owner Kyle Berner as "the most comfortable flip-flop in the world," the 100% recyclable and biodegradable sandals are made of all-natural rubber from Thailand, where Berner stumbled upon them during his post-college travels. And the eco-friendliness doesn't stop with the company's own products. As part of its mission to create a "Zero Flip-Flop Waste World," Feelgoodz has launched a pioneering initiative that collects and sends non-recyclable flip-flops to Kenya, where another company distributes them to villagers who make new eco-boutique items out of them to then use for resale. An additional upshot of this innovative upcycling? A $5 credit that you can apply to a colorful pair of Feelgoodz.
