Teva sandals were first designed in 1984 for white water rafting in the Grand Canyon. Since then, styles have certainly changed but the comfort and security of Tevas certainly haven't.

SUSTAINABILITY

Like any great adventure, the path to sustainability starts with a single step. Which is why Teva on a mission to find more ways for people to lessen their impact and turn the tide of consumption. From making products with recycled materials, to lessening our water usage and reducing packaging, we’re focused on implementing changes that make a big impact. In 2020, Teva transitioned 100% of our iconic straps to traceable verifiable recycled plastic using REPREVE® yarn. Since then, we’ve diverted 24 million plastic bottles from landfills and put them to better use, strapping sandals to your feet.

Lessening Our Footprint

WATER

We’re continuing to reduce our overall water usage and work with our supply chain partners to improve their water conservation efforts. Since 2017, we’ve saved 348 million gallons of water, thanks to our packaging improvements.

MATERIALS

In addition to our recycled straps, we’re seeking sustainable and ethical alternatives for key materials, and offer a range of vegan styles each season. Every piece of leather we use is sourced from tanneries certified by Leather Working Group, whose mission is to promote sustainable and appropriate environmental business practices within the leather industry. We also support the Better Cotton Initiative, the largest cotton sustainability program in the world, and have been recognized on the Textile Exchange Leader Board for our use of recycled polyester.

WASTE

We’re working with our factories and suppliers to reduce waste and divert it from landfills whenever possible. We’re also using less packaging, and since 2017, we’ve reduced the total weight of packaging used by 4.1 million pounds.
