recycling program "Tags 2 Tote"

Worn out, but not out of service:

Welcome to our recycling program "Tags 2 Tote"

At TAGS Alpargatas , we believe that every product deserves a second chance. With our "Tags 2 Tote" program, we give worn-out espadrilles a new life - as unique bags that combine sustainability and social commitment.

This is how it works:

Returns: Customers can return their old espadrilles to us ( request free return or use the contact form below)

Recycling: The materials of the shoes – supplemented by residual materials from our production – are reused. Unfortunately, we cannot recycle the soles, but we dispose of them properly.

Local support: The bags are made here in Germany in social workshops. These workshops support people in difficult life situations, such as the homeless, addicts or people with disabilities. Through production, we not only promote sustainability, but also local initiatives and give people a perspective.

Direct support for Mexico: The bags are made in social workshops in Germany, and part of the proceeds go back to Mexico to support the production and training of the craftsmen there.

Why do we do this?

1. Sustainability: We reduce waste and extend the life cycle of our materials.

2. Local commitment: By manufacturing in social workshops in Germany, we are making a contribution to supporting local people.

3. Support for craftsmanship: With every purchase, we invest in the preservation and further development of the traditional art of shoemaking in Mexico.

4. Uniqueness: Each bag is unique – with a story that tells of tradition and change.

“Tags 2 Dead” shows that sustainability, social commitment and tradition can go hand in hand. We invite you to become part of this movement – for a future with less waste, more humanity and greater appreciation.
