At present, the vast majority of hotels provide guests with disposable slippers made of plastic or polyester materials. These slippers generate a large amount of plastic waste after use. Each year, the waste from hotel supplies around the world reaches billions of tons, with slippers accounting for more than 60% of it. The disposal methods such as land filling or incineration of these plastic wastes have a significant impact and pose great hazards to our environment.
In the past development process, global fossil energy has been over-exploited, and plastic products have been widely used. This has led to an excess of global greenhouse gas emissions, melting of icebergs, rising sea levels, increasing sea water temperatures, frequent El Niño phenomena, and extreme weather conditions of both heat and cold!
It is clear that we should take immediate action to reduce the use of non-recyclable plastic or polyester slippers and replace them with degradable, recyclable products.
It is time to make the right choice to protect our environment and promote our eco-friendly and recyclable lifestyle.
In 2019, Mingchi developed a special plant fiber eco-friendly slipper that is 100% degradable. We use plant straw as raw material to produce plant fiber cloth, and then make slippers from this cloth. The materials of these slippers have been tested and certified by organizations such as SGS and Tuv as degradable, 100% plant-based, and free of any plastic .
We have only one Earth, which is our only home. We must protect it as we would protect our eyes, for our health, for our beautiful life, and for our future generations. It is urgent that we take action to protect the environment we rely on for survival!
Let us take immediate action! Work together with our environmentalists and eco-friendly hotels to make a meaningful contribution to the cause of environmental protection and ecological endeavors!
