Teva has launched TerraForever, a recycling program with TerraCycle in which used Teva sandals can be recycled into something new. To participate, customers can visit Teva.com to sign up and download a prepaid shipping label to mail in their sandals to TerraCycle. The sandals will be cleaned and materials will be separated and prepared for processing. The processed material will be used by manufacturers to make a number of new products including playgrounds, athletic fields, and track ground cover.


Oboz Footwear is pledging to plant two trees for every pair of Oboz boots tried on this month, and three trees total for every boot tried on and sold at participating dealers. Oboz will also plant an additional two trees for every boot sold at Obozfootwear.com through April 30, 2021. Oboz has been planting a tree for each pair of boots it has sold since 2007. To date, the Bozeman, MT-based brand has planted over 3.5 million trees through its partnership with Trees for the Future.
