Recycled packaging materials

At HUB, we believe sustainability should be part of every detail. As a proud B Corp, we integrate eco-friendly choices into every aspect of our operations, including packaging. From shoeboxes to shipping bags, each element is carefully designed with recycled materials, reduced impact, and reusability in mind. Our shoeboxes are made from 100% recycled cardboard. The wrapping paper protecting your sneakers is made from 100% recycled paper. Our shipping bags are made from 80% recycled plastic and include a second adhesive strip, so it can be reused if you need to return your order.

Leather Working Group sourcing

All leather we use is sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG) certified tanneries, meeting recognised standards for animal welfare, safety and environmental practices. The Leather Working Group is a global not-for-profit organization redefining how leather is produced. Since 2005, their mission has been clear: promoting sustainable and responsible practices in the leather industry. The LWG sets the benchmark for environmental performance in the leather industry, with rigorous standards and thorough audits.

Recycled materials in sneakers

Beyond leather, we actively use recycled materials to reduce our footprint. By giving existing resources a second life, we save raw materials, minimize water and energy use, and cut CO2 emissions. Our recycled canvas is made from production waste: surplus canvas that has never been worn by consumers. Our nylon is 100% recycled from repurposed plastic. We reclaim rubber waste from our outsole production and reuse it to create new soles. At this moment, our sneakers contain 10% recycled rubber.

Code of Conduct for suppliers

Every sneaker we make is produced in a fair and honest way. We believe in long-term partnerships and work with trusted suppliers in Vietnam and Taiwan, many of whom we’ve collaborated with since 2004. All our partners commit to our Code of Conduct, which covers human rights, fair treatment, working conditions and environmental responsibility. By monitoring each step of the process, we can guarantee that every sneaker is made in a safe and healthy environment, with fair wages for everyone involved.

Waste reduction measures

Waste is part of making any product, but we aim to keep it as limited as possible. From production to packaging, we look for ways to reduce, reuse and simplify. We design our sneakers to last. We work with partners to review and reduce waste streams where possible. We keep packaging simple, without unnecessary materials.
