Sneaky sustainability -  Orba Shoes

Sneaky sustainability - Orba Shoes

Designed in NZ, made from entirely natural materials every part of every shoe Orba makes for the next 100 years will be gone before any synthetic sneakers discarded yesterday.

Orba is also included in this year’s Next List - the definitive list of the most sustainable products and businesses as judged by the Sustainable Business Network.

Vincent was joined by Gillian Boucher, sustainability manager, and Scott Anderson operations manager.
