Big time shoe maker Puma has bagged the typical idea of packaging their shoes in an effort to go green. The idea has merits and should catch on with other companies as well.

The idea is to use a bag on the outside of the partial box that the shoes come in and thus save the amount of cardboard needed to make complete box. Because the bag covers a box, the retailers will still be able to stack the half-bag, half-box packaging.

Puma is another in a long line of shoe companies going green with their packaging efforts. Shoe Company Timberland uses an eco-friendly box that is made up of recycled cardboard and Nike uses many recyclables as well. However, Puma seems to be the first major shoe company to conduct the ‘bag it’ method.

The idea was picked out over 2,000 others so let’s hope it is a success. EcoZeal.com is thrilled to see yet another big name going the way of the green persuasion. With the fight ongoing we will one day live in an all eco-friendly fashion world and if you look, you can see the steps being taken to ensure this every single day.
