Think of all the couches you’ve sat on in your life, there number probably the hundreds, if not thousands. Every one of those couches is still in the world today, many taking up large amounts of real estate in a landfill. A new company is taking old couches, and repurposing the material to make shoes. The way it works is you cut out a large swatch of cloth from your couch, and upload a picture of your couch to their website. A team of shoemakers and designers then make a pair of custom shoes out of the material you send them. This is a great way to reuse material that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
