The sneaker was made from carbon dioxide
A sneaker made from recycled carbon dioxide cutting the carbon
footprint in the fight against climate change, CCTV Africa reports.
According to NRG Energy, a company committed to reducing and
repurposing carbon emissions released a shoe prototype that combines
captured carbon dioxide in the foam of its sole at the New York Fashion
Week this past week.
This is not the first time carbon dioxide has been converted into
something useful. Beverage-grade carbon dioxide, a chemical technology
develops a proprietary catalyst reacts with carbon dioxide to create
polyurethane, which is used to create the foam for the sneaker.
The creation of the shoe changes the industry into replacing
petrochemicals in products and lessens the world's dependence on oil.
"We are not going to win the fight against climate change
unless someone figures out how to capture and reuse carbon economically
and turn it into something that society values," Lynda Clemmons, vice president of NRG's Business Solutions Group, was quoted as saying by The New York Times to Xinhua
