With the plastic pollution crisis at an all-time high, sustainable footwear brand AVRE is hoping to protect the ocean, decrease waste in landfills, and assist in improving air quality with its sustainable shoes. Each sneaker from AVRE is created by upcycled fibers that are made created from recycled P.E.T plastic from 8-10 water bottles through Repreve.
AVRE not only ensures its shoes are sustainable and ocean-friendly but that all its packaging is as well. All of the packaging is made from recycled materials while ensuring only what's necessary is shipped about to produce less waste for the environment.
Moreover, every purchase from AVRE helps support sustainable, conservation, and women empowerment as 10% of proceeds are donated to Oceana and Girls In Tech.
