Sleepers

Produced with biodegradable materials

Sleepers are flip flops made of natural rubber, tapped in Sri Lanka.

The natural rubber is tapped under Fair Trade conditions by Fair Rubber, ensuring the working and living conditions of the primary producers of natural latex. The natural rubber is tapped in a way that ensures the natural life cycle of the trees (around 20-30 gram from each tree every day).

Natural rubber breathes, is easy to clean and is incredibly comfortable to wear.

The compound that Sleepers is made of contains 10-15 % synthetic rubber.
This is, to this date, the minimum requirement synthetic rubber needed in order for the flip flops to have the correct consistency and quality. This way, the flip flips do not break down too fast. We are always on the search for the most optimal solutions.

Plastic-free Packaging

When we designed the packaging, we were determined to avoid using single use plastic. Sleepers are packaged in recycled FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified craft paper from the tea industry. We use water based ink.

Our packaging is made of recycled paper from the tea industry. Our hope is that you can reuse this bag into something you need in your home.

Carbon Compensated Shipping

We mainly ship Sleepers in bulk by carbon compensated sea transport to our ware-houses in Norway and the EU. Our main warehouse is entirely powered by renewable
energy sources. And from here we try to ship by carbon neutral delivery* to your doorstep in the same plastic free recycled paper bag to avoid adding further paper
waste to the loop. Please bare with us if it gets wrinkly ;)

Fair Rubber Certified

The Fair Rubber Association pay regular visits to the plantations in order to ensure that the work is done within the set standards. Currently, all our rubber is sourced from Horana Plantations in Sri Lanka. In order to ensure transparency, each flip flop is marked with the plantation the rubber stems from.
