I think lying about the fate of these shoes is pretty bad and destroys trust. I’d think twice about recycling. “Here’s why that’s a good thing!” doesn’t cut it for me.

Are you saying you’d be more likely to throw things away than recycle them because it’s possible that rather than being recycled they will be reused?

Or is it more like “well if they lied about that, what else are they lying about”.

I mean, it is Dow Chemical…

That what I was thinking, at least it’s a step up from dumping it in the ocean. It seems people are having to relearn that we can’t trust these companies to actually do the right thing all over again, as if history didn’t exist.

So, better to throw decent shoes in the garbage than take a chance of being lied to.
