"With Earthkeepers 2.0, we have an opportunity to influence the environmental impact of our products in a way we haven't before – after the point of purchase." Eighty percent of the Earthkeepers 2.0 boat shoe can be recycled or re-used: • The leather is refurbished at the company's factory in the Dominican Republic. • The Green Rubber™ soles which will go back to a Green Rubber™ factory in Georgia for recycling. Green Rubber's patented D-Link technology effectively breaks down tyre-rubber so that it can be recycled repeatedly back into new products, including Timberland outsoles. • The removable metal hardware can be reused in new footwear or recycled. • The polyester lining can be recycled into new polyester products.
