These sneakers are made out of corn

As we become more and more conscious of our impact on the environment, people are after more sustainable options for pretty much anything.

When it comes to shoes, and trying to avoid buying leather, one brand has given us an interesting new option.

Veja’s newest vegan option is the shoe Campo, and it’s made from a waxed canvas with 50 per cent corn waste from the food industry.

Yes that’s right. These shoes are made from corn.

As a result, the Campo is made out of a fabric that is biodegradable and to look and touch is comparable to leather.

And corn shoes aren’t the only piece of clothing made from something you might not expect.

Meghan Markle actually thrust sustainable fashion into the spotlight late last year after rocking a pair of black pumps on a Melbourne beach that were made from recycled plastic bottles fished straight from the ocean.

But while the former actress has decided to raise awareness about the damage being done to the environment through her well thought out clothing choices, the debate around ‘disposable fashion’ has been happening for years.

In fact, there’s heaps of designers who are making stunning shoes, dresses and even swimwear from trashed plastic bottles.
