Shoe Producers to incorporate environmentally friendly materials at the The WSA Show, Simple Shoes to Host First ‘ecoETHICStm Conference.’ With environmental issues at the forefront of the public arena, footwear manufacturers are turning to eco-friendly materials in an effort to bring social responsibility into the world of fashion and comfort.
In recognition of the global concern about environmental issues, a programme dedicated to the potential "greening" of the footwear industry took place for the first time at The WSA Show which ran on Sat., Feb. 3, from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. at the Mandalay Bay Convention Centre. Hosted by The WSA Show and Simple Shoes, the casual shoe company that makes sustainable products, this "ecoETHICStm" conference presented the footwear industry with a platform on which to share practical and profitable environmental solutions.
"The time is right for a programme that addresses these issues and provides those at the forefront the opportunity to explore their own processes and encourage others to follow suit," stated Diane Stone, chief operating officer of The WSA Show. "Recycled materials and environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques can make the difference for many consumers, so footwear brands are marketing their environmental consciousness and doing right for the planet with their green initiatives."
