LYNCHBURG, Va. - s4story -- LYNCHBURG, VA, June 30-- Off The Beaten Track (OTBT), a leading women's travel-inspired fashion footwear brand, strengthens its commitment to sustainability with the announcement of a pledge to protect 600+ acres of rainforest this year through a partnership with Rainforest Trust, a conservation charity dedicated to protecting rainforests and tropical ecosystems.

OTBT's contributions are realized through its just-debuted Greener Sneakers sustainable sneaker collection. For each pair of Greener Sneakers sold on OTBTshoes.com, OTBT will protect one acre of rainforest by donating to Rainforest Trust's Conservation Action Fund.

Produced in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, each Greener Sneaker is made with sustainable materials, like naturally sourced rubber from Brazil, recycled plastics, and rice husks. During production, excess water from the leather tanning process is recycled back into the environment, which contributes to a circular economy.

"Because this collection is made in Brazil, it was crucial for us to find a partner with a mission there," said Carmen Glass, Key Account Manager and Analyst. "Sustainability is all about circularity, so we're completing a loop of impact that begins and ends in Brazil."

OTBT's partnership with Rainforest Trust comes on the heels of the brand's February 2021 announcement with parent company Consolidated Shoe Company to work toward a greener future via expanded ethical practices, sustainable material procurement, and waste and carbon footprint reduction.
