Green Champion Spotlight
At last count, Rothy’s converted 225 million plastic bottles into eco-chic footwear and handbags. The shoe brand owns production facilities with LEED Gold and TRUE Zero-Waste certifications.
That is quite impressive for a company that joined the market 10 years ago. Its mission is simple: turn plastic into functional, stylish products instead of sending it to landfills. In creating a fully circular shoe, Rothy’s has repurposed materials throughout its process. In addition to shipping products in recycled cardboard boxes, it developed its signature thread, called rPET, and uses natural fabrics such as hemp and merino wool. And did we mention its products are machine washable? Before retiring your beloved item, you can return it to one of its stores for recycling.
In short, Rothy’s offers a practical example of how thoughtful design can make everyday products more sustainable without sacrificing style or convenience. For Green Trotter readers looking to reduce waste one purchase at a time, the brand’s recycled materials, washable construction, and take-back program make it a noteworthy option to keep on the radar.

Vivobarefoot is on a mission: to “free your feet.” It achieves this and more; it also reduces your carbon footprint. The B-Corp certified industry leader in footwear earns a spot as Green Trotter’s inaugural product of the month. Our top pick is the men’s Primus Trail Flow high-performance trail runner. The lightweight sneaker treads over varied terrains without compromising support. The no insole is intentional, grounding your every step, a nod to the Barefoot Movement ethos. It gets high marks for its recycled materials, easy-to-clean, and “End of Life” return policy. Happy trails!
