Kenya’s Ocean Sole sandal recycling company is cleaning the East African country’s beaches of used, washed-up flip-flops and other sandals.
About 45 workers in Nairobi make 100 products from the discarded sandals. In 2008, the firm shipped an 18-foot giraffe to Rome for display during a fashion week. Founder Julie Church says the goal is to create products that people want to buy, then make them interested in the back-story.
