[Berlin, January 11.01.2024, XNUMX] POLOLO is one of the leading German suppliers of ecological children's shoes based in Berlin and manufactured in Spain and Portugal. At the upcoming leading eco-trade for textiles and shoes “INNATEX” (July 20 to 22, 2024 in Hofheim-Wallau – near Frankfurt), POLOLO will present the new children’s shoe models of the season for the first time.

New barefoot slippers made from recycled organic wool from disana

Brand new to the collection is the children's slipper made from disana recycled wool (organic).

Waste always occurs during the production of textiles. These are leftover materials that can no longer be used to make products and then have to be disposed of. The disana company is one of the world's largest processors of organic wool. Around 20% of this particularly valuable, beautiful and IVN-certified material is waste and was previously processed into giveaways or insulating material for the aircraft and car industries or was sometimes disposed of for a fee. Elmar Sautter, managing director of disana: “A lot of work and love goes into the production and processing of organic wool. Seeing that we simply had to dispose of many tons of leftover fabric every year was no longer acceptable for us, especially in today's times.“And when asked how and when it all began, Sautter says: “The research, the scientific research, the search for producers, even a thesis came from this. This all started about 7 years ago. We have been using the felt for 5 years now. Since then, felt production has been on an industrial level.”

Resource protection and efficiency in the use of materials are also an important pillar of all manufacturing processes for POLOLO. The two German companies have been friends for many years and know each other from many trade fairs and industry activities. For the two pioneers of the organic shoe and textile industry, innovation and transparency have always been important factors for the collection and range.

For POLOLO, the cooperation with the friendly company is an important new component in the supply chain. Kuntze says: “The market has changed enormously in the last few years. We are facing major challenges. As a counterpoint to fast fashion, we have to take innovative approaches. With disana we have found one of the best partners: short transparency, ecological solutions, sustainable and transparent supply chains. This is the only way we, as responsible entrepreneurs, will be able to achieve our CO2 target and design beautiful, high-quality children's shoes.
