2
What Are they?

• Strangle looking shoes with holes in them.
• Made in various different shapes and sizes!

3
Origin

• Origonally, Crocs were intended as a boating/
  outdoor shoe, because of their slip resistant,
  non-marking sole (The Best Way to know where
  were going is to see where weve been).

4
They are not made of Rubber!

• They might look rubbery, but they are not made of
  rubber!

• Crocs are made of crostile material, which is a
  proprietary closed-cell resin that expands and
  contracts to the wearers foot (Crocs Launches
  Soles United Campaign).

Lifespan

• 90 day warranty
• Amount of time they will exist in their intended
  form is dependent upon how often they are worn

7
Crocs can be recycled!

• There is a Soles United program that can re-use
  and recycle your crocs for you, and all you have
  to do is find a drop box for them!
• - Once worn-out crocs footwear are received,
  they are sorted, ground up and made into new
  Soles United recycled shoes (How it Works).

The Afterlife of Un-recycled Crocs

• If Crocs are thrown away, instead of being
  recycled, then they will be sent to a landfill
  with everything else in your garbage can.
• There are mixed ideas about what will happen to
  the Crocs while they are sitting in a landfill,
  and about how long they will exist in their
  intended form in the landfill.
• Some people say that these shoes will quickly
  decompose, while others say that they will just
  sit in a landfill and take up space for millions
  of years.
