Vegan shoes

POLOLOs made from vegan materials
Leather is a wonderful natural material, cuddly, soft and, if produced sustainably, free of harmful substances, skin-friendly and very breathable. But we always focus on sustainability throughout the entire process chain and even if we primarily try to use skins from species-appropriate husbandry, reducing meat consumption is an important aspect in the fight against climate change. That's why we started adding leather-free, sustainable raw materials to the POLOLO collection a few years ago.

Upcycling marine plastic as a material alternative: POLOLOs made from SEAQUAL® YARN

The SEAQUAL INITIATIVE is committed to the motto “TOGETHER FOR A CLEAN OCEAN!”, because millions of tons of plastic waste still end up in our oceans every year and endanger the environment. Through their commitment, plastic waste is collected from the seabed off the Spanish coast by around 400 partner fishermen or collected by volunteers on the beach or on the rivers and then processed into SEAQUAL® YARN.
The SEAQUAL INITIATIVE partner network includes fishing boats, spinning mills, weaving mills and brands such as POLOLO, which are committed to the common goal of ridding the sea, the beach and the rivers of waste and producing ecologically friendly yarns, fibers and fabrics: “YOUR STEPS FOR A CLEAN OCEAN!” POLOLO offers Slippers and street shoes (“Chico”) with various motifs made from SEAQUAL® YARN.

Textile slippers made of cotton in organic quality (kbA)

Organic cotton, ie certified cotton from controlled organic cultivation, is characterized by a focus on maintaining the ecological balance - there is a general ban on genetic engineering. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on optimized water consumption as well as high social standards and fair wages.
This means that only organic quality materials are used as an ecological, vegan material alternative for our children's shoe collection made of cotton.
