Description
Ever wondered what happens to the millions of old plastic sandals and flip-flops discarded every year? This is the full, untold journey, from a mountain of worn-out footwear to brand new recycled plastic shoes ready for store shelves.
In this documentary, we go inside a working recycling facility and follow the entire process step by step: collection, sorting, shredding, melting, moulding, and finishing. You'll see the massive machines, meet the workers behind the operation, and discover how a single pair of thrown-away sandals can be reborn as something completely new.
What you'll see in this film:
• How discarded plastic footwear is collected and graded
• The industrial shredding and crushing process
• How shredded plastic is melted and reshaped
• The moulding stage that creates brand new soles and straps
• Quality checks and the finished recycled shoes
If you care about sustainability, manufacturing, or the surprising journeys of everyday products, this one is for you.
