Green business idea - eco-friendly footwear
February 5th, 2010

Worldwide problem Nr. 1 for the past few years is ecology. Green lifestyle is getting more and more popular and there’s already a huge number of people who would rather refuse to purchase, then buy goods which are ecological unfriendly. Green business opportunities are unlimited and new business ideas are in the air. Here’s one green business idea I have found recently.
Design company All Black launched a line of eco shoes made out of recycled newspapers. Production of one pair of shoes requires 3.5 pages of Chinese newspaper. To increase strength and make them water-repellent, shoes are covered with plastic.
Designer Colin Lin says that recycled newspapers is an innovative material and has great perspectives due to it’s very low cost.
Lin has already sold more than 4,000 pairs of shoes to customers from United States and Europe. Each pair costs $100-150. Taking into account that net cost of such product is respectively low, we can be 100% sure that Lin has invented a truly successful business idea!
