Why do we always talk about waste, but ignore its root cause - overproduction?
With more than 20 billion pairs of shoes produced annually and less than 5% successfully recycled, the current model is broken. At WAZP, we are building a system where nothing is made before it’s needed and nothing is thrown out.
WAZP Metis is a 3D-printed footwear system that changes how shoes are made. By using 3D printing to its full potential, we can create footwear that is both beautiful and truly circular. Because the system allows us to manufacture without a single drop of glue, every pair can be repaired, recycled and eventually turned back into a new one.
All local, all on-demand, with zero waste.
This approach allows us to cut the CO2e, material waste and transportation distance of each pair by >90% and energy use by up to 60% compared to traditional manufacturing.
It’s a system that has the potential to change how we make things - locally, sustainably and consciously.
We’d love your support to help make this the new standard!
