Be Lenka Sustainability, environment and Be Lenka
We believe that any modern brand should include respect for society and the environment among its core principles. Here at Be Lenka, we do our best to keep the environmental impact to a minimum. Some of these shocking fashion industry facts make us think twice about the kind of damage we're doing to our planet:
The fashion industry accounts for 10% of human carbon emissions, i.e. more emissions than all international flights and shipping combined. But every year people buy about 80 billion pieces of clothing and shoes. The sad fact is that up to 85% of the textiles and footwear produced end up in a landfill. The equivalent of a garbage truck full of textiles and shoes is burned or thrown away every second.

The equivalent of a garbage truck full of textiles and shoes is burned or thrown away every second.
To prevent such a lot of environmental pollution and water waste, we only want to produce shoes that you need. It is not easy to estimate the required sizes or models correctly. However, we invest a lot of resources in research and development to get the estimates as accurate as possible.
Although we try to keep our manufacturing process as environmentally friendly as possible, every shoe produced causes some carbon emission. Therefore, we do not want to create these emissions to make shoes that remain unsold and unused. Transport and storage of such goods further increases the burden on the environment.
That is why we refrain from mass-producing our shoes. We only produce according to the actual pre-orders received. Pre-sales help us estimate the desired quantities of Barefoot shoes by doing the least possible harm to our planet.
