Hyderabad: There are many ways that plastic can be recycled – one can make T-Shirts, one can break them into granules and re-use them to make pet bottles. However, have you ever heard of a shoe made from recycled plastic?

You heard it right! Hyderabad-based sustainable and eco-friendly footwear brand is offering exactly that.

Branded ReLive Knits, the company – Neeman’s – collects discarded plastic bottles, recycles them and washes them and then they are shredded into small flakes. The chips are then melted, cooled, and pressed through a die, forming long strands of yarn that are further refined and spun through a 3D knitting machine to then form the upper of the shoe.

Once the upper part of the shoe is ready, naturally available material is used to make the inside sole which is made from plant-based caster bean oil, recycled rubber and wastepaper, says Amar Preet Singh, co-founder, Neeman’s.

“The inside sole has a cushioning effect thus making the shoe odor and sweat resistant. We get in touch with companies that convert plastic waste into yarn and then we use that fibre to make our show. While the fiber might be sourced internationally, the assembly happens in Hyderabad itself and the major part of our manufacturing is done through third parties,” he says.

Designed and created with 100 per cent recycled PET bottles, the other materials used in crafting this shoe include bamboo insoles, castor bean oil, natural and recycled rubber making the premium looking ReLive Knits the epitome of comfort and style, he says.

The unisex ReLive Knits Sneakers and Slip On are available in 7 and 5 colours respectively. Priced at Rs. 3,299, the collection will be available on Neeman’s website- www.neemans.com, as well as e-commerce platforms.

The company offers a range of products including Sustainable Flips Flops, Slides, Recycled Cotton Sneakers and their flagship product which are shoes made with Merino Wool. The city-based startup that is founded by first-generation entrepreneurs Taran Chhabra and Amar Preet recently raised a Series-A round of funding of Rs 20 crore from Sixth Sense Ventures.
