Renovare Ocean has innovated the traditional shoe industry of León, Guanajuato, a Mexican city whose economy has relied for years on manufacturing shoes. With the objective of making a contribution to solve the sargassum seaweed problem in the Mexican Caribbean coasts, the company researched the material and identified that it could be used as a polymer in the creation of soles for footwear.
Renovare is a footwear company that is dedicated to the elaboration of ecological shoes by reusing, recycling and redesigning inorganic and organic material. Renovare does this in two different ways. One way is by using recycled PET bottles to make the fabric from which they make their shoes. Secondly, due to the increase of sargassum in the beaches of the Yucatan peninsula, they have opted to use this sargassum to make soles for their new shoe line, “Renovare Ocean.” Both make a great impact in the preservation of marine species by preventing these bottles from ending up in ocean waters and by cleaning up the Mexican coast from thousands of meters of sargassum. The shoes created are able to be recycled, making a circular economy and promoting a responsible consumption and production of goods. Renovare has created many jobs directly with their factory to make shoes and collect sargassum, as well as indirectly by proving that sargassum and thrown away plastic bottles are more valuable than just trash. This provides decent well paid jobs in a healthy chemical-free environment.

The use of recyclable materials (waste materials from shoe factories, pasta packaging, PET plastics) in the implementation of their projects contributes to three of the SDGs that are Sustainable Cities and Communities, since it increases oxygen by increasing more square meters of green installations. The Responsible Production and Consumption is related to the implementation of more green areas; the use of these green roofs makes less use of air conditioners and regulates the temperatures in buildings. There prevails a reduction of these consumptions, making the people more aware of the use of these energies, and, as Action for Climate, favors the generation of more oxygen and contributes to the reduction of the effects of global warming, which consequently reduces the effects of climate change.

EON Group is closing the gap to bring circular economy to scale in the fashion industry implementing one key element: connectivity. Through the Digital Identity and using Internet of Things, EON has built a bridge between product information and the entire supply chain, making product data available in the cloud.
What is Digital Identity? According to EON Group, “It’s a digital twin or a virtual replica of a physical product - allowing information of the product to be stored digitally and accessed over the internet."
Once we can identify products and recognize their materials and components, it is easier to keep those products at their best use, enabling more than one lifecycle and making their use, reuse and recycle easier, faster, and cheaper.
A physical identifier is the key component that saves product information and connects it to the cloud.
Affordable access to energy and climate change initiatives can be addressed through this initiative, which transforms cattle waste into biofuel.

"I imagine a world where we all are guardians of Mother Earth, taking care of rivers, forests, land and I believe that women have a great responsibility with this."- Sua Renata Garcia, CEO
From 2003 to 2013, in Tlaxcala, Mexico, 740 textile companies out of 879 were closed. Around 15,000 jobs were lost due to the lack of differentiation in their products, fragmentation of the production chain and global opening. Most of the surviving companies were trapped in a vicious cycle of manufacturing low value-added products which limited the design and production capacity that the national and international markets demanded.
This adverse environment coupled by the fact that the textile/fashion industry is considered the second cause of pollution in the world were the inspiration to create Novabori in 2014.
In order to face these global challenges, the venture incorporated a business model capable of identifying the optimal way to join the value chains of their customers and thus delivering solutions in fabrics that generate sustainably competitive advantages based on cost, delivery times and design. The basis of Novabori’s solutions are the research and co-development of substrates; the ability to integrate both human and technological talent into the value chain; and, the ability to adapt immediately to fashion trends.
