Earth Day Letter from our CEO
Dear Okabashi Enthusiast,
The theme for Earth Day this year is: End Plastic Pollution. The thought of well-loved flip flops and sandals ending up in a landfill or in a floating plastic island in the ocean breaks our hearts.
Every Okabashi shoe is recyclable and eco-friendly. We are proud to do our part in reducing plastic pollution with our closed loop recycling process.
