Support the Pioneers in refurbishing sports shoes into slippers!

Most inventions come from basic ideas. Innovations take place when we think hard and ask questions such as: Is the present situation ideal? Have I tried my best and can it be made better? to answer these questions Shriyans Bhandari and his business partner Ramesh Dhami started their project, Greensole.

Till the December of 2013, Shriyans and Ramesh used to discard 3-4 pairs of sports shoes each year due to excessive usage. They felt really bad when they were throwing away such expensive shoes, which somewhere deep down they knew could be used for some other purpose. They thought hard and experimented for months on those torn shoes to finally figure that these shoes could be converted into comfortable footwear.

Initially they utilized the slippers for their own personal use but after making several improvements to the product they found out that the slippers thus made not just are low cost but also have the advantage of an added cushion and superior road grip.

During their extenisve research they realised that, every year 350 million pairs of non-biodegradable sports shoes are thrown away as they are no longer fit to use. While 1.2 billion people wake up every day without having any kind of footwear whatsoever.

Since then there has been no looking back for them and they are now consumed by a vision to provide footwear to the neediest throughout the World. By 2023 they want to ensure that no needy remains bare feet but they cannot do this without your support and thus they have tied up with Catapooolt to crowdfund this initiative. They have received two industrial design patents for their product. Looking forward for your generous support.

Your old shoes can become a pair of new slippers for the needy.
