Peru and Piola
THE WILD RUBBER
OUR FIGHT AGAINST DEFORESTATION
For its production, Piola sources wild rubber directly from the heart of the Peruvian Amazonian forest.
It is in the Madre de Dios region that the "shiringueros", the rubber tree bleeders, collect the latex by taking the sap from the tree trunks.
These producers have a right of exploitation, granted by the State which allows them to protect their environment and part of their source of income.
By buying rubber at 5 times the local market price, we actively contribute in the development of their know how, quality of life and work, whilst limiting deforestation.
YOUR SHOES, YOUR STYLE, WHAT’S NEXT?
For each pair sold, Piola redistributes 2€ to the shiringueros. These funds are used, amongst other things, to renovate and build latex production and to connect their houses to clear water and electricity (using solar panels). There are many projects and it’s thanks to you that we can make them happen.
