Algae are fundamental organisms to our planet wellness, however, when they grow in excess, they end up damaging the ecosystem they belong to. One solution found to this problem is reuse, giving a new meaning to this material and by that creating biomaterials. When used in our sandals, this biomaterial replaces the use of materials that would have a bigger impact on the planet. BLOOM™, an American company specialized in biomaterials, is the responsible for the supply of the algae biomaterial used in Ipanema Algae Edition.
