New Zealand-American company, Allbirds is one seriously impressive brand. Founded in 2014, Allbirds is dedicated to creating eco-friendly clothing and footwear made from entirely sustainable resources. The brand is 100% carbon neutral and only uses natural renewable fabrics for their products, such as wool, trees, sugar, and trino. Plus, Allbirds plans to cut their footprint in half by 2025, and then reduce it to near zero by 2030.
However, despite being seriously committed to sustainability, so much so that Allbirds are a certified B Corp, they have not sacrificed style or performance as all of Allbirds’ products, particularly their shoes, are incredibly polished-looking and feature some seriously impressive properties and technologies.
