From old shoes to unique design panels

Versato, in collaboration with FastFeetGrinded, creates recycled shoe panels with a story. Collecting, shredding and transforming old shoes into colourful pebbles, give these shoes a second life. At Pyrasied, we combine innovation with sustainability by partnering with forward-thinking companies like Versato. Discover how you can contribute to a circular economy with these custom-made, sustainable design panels from Versato Pebbles. The perfect balance between sustainability, aesthetics and innovation.

Circular materials for creativity

By reusing materials instead of discarding them, the demand for new raw materials is reduced. This leads to a significant decrease in energy consumption, waste production and greenhouse gas emissions. In the case of Versato Pebbles, old shoes that would otherwise end up in landfills are transformed into high-quality design panels. These materials are not only visually appealing but also functional and durable. By choosing circular materials, you directly contribute to conserving natural resources and help reduce waste. Moreover, using recycled materials opens new opportunities for creative custom designs, providing a sustainable and innovative solution for various interior projects.

How are shoes recycled into design sheets?

Shoe collection

Shoes of any brand and material are collected, from sneakers and sports shoes to boots and work shoes.
Even unworn shoes are recycled—sample and prototype shoes, or those with manufacturing defects, are repurposed as new material.
Production waste from factories is also included in the recycling possibilities.

From shoe to pebble

FastFeetGrinded sorts, cleans and grinds the shoes into colourful pebbles.

Choose your design

The base panel can be selected in any RAL colour, ensuring a perfect match with your brand identity or design.
The pebbles can also be fully customized in terms of colour and/or brand, making each panel unique.
