Welcome to Second Sole we are a group of individuals wanting to make the world a better place.
SUSTAINABLE GOALS SDG
SDG 11
Sustainable Cities and Communities
​
By creating a sustainable solution to a common waste problem, the project supports the development of sustainable communities and reduces environmental impact. This project could be replicated in various institutions, contributing to cleaner, more sustainable urban environments.
SDG 12
Responsible Consumption and Production
The project directly addresses waste reduction by recycling single-use nitrile gloves into durable products, thereby minimizing landfill waste and promoting a circular economy. By transforming waste materials into valuable goods, it encourages sustainable resource use and more responsible production processes.
SDG 13
Climate Action
​
By repurposing waste and using eco-friendly methods, the project helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste disposal and virgin material production. The initiative supports climate action by lowering the overall carbon footprint, particularly through the choice of natural rubber latex as a sustainable binding option.
SDG 17
Partnerships for the Goals
​
The project encourages partnerships within institutions and potential collaborations with local manufacturers, waste collectors, and environmental organizations. Building these partnerships fosters a multi-stakeholder approach to sustainability, advancing collective action toward global goals.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to take single use plastic gloves, and refine them into something new, giving a second soul to a second sole.
