About Franco 920 Stone

After selling out twice, our Franco 920 sneaker in Stone is back! This is a Trash Planet favourite: inspired by the 90's and skate culture with a contemporary streetwear twist.

These shoes are ethically made by local artisans just outside of Porto, Portugal in our small family-owned factory. The sporty, timeless design and versatile colourway will make these your go-to pair for any off-duty look. The removable biodegradable insole offers maximum comfort, whilst the impeccable finish ensures these sneakers are made to last.

The 920 stitching signifies the date they were designed (September 2020). No sneaker will ever be made the same again.

About Trash Planet

TRASH PLANET is a small independent footwear business based just outside of Bristol in the United Kingdom. We consider our shoes to be the future of sustainable vegan footwear. We were tired of unethically made, unsustainable plastic footwear and bland sustainable styles so we went on a mission to create Trash Planet and redefine sustainability ourselves.

It took us on a journey of two years through tens of factories, hundreds of materials, and thousands of miles through multiple countries in a 20-year-old car to make a sneaker that we're proud of.

We create very limited collections of high-quality sneakers that are all vegan, at least 50% recycled and ethically made in Europe. We also plant 15 trees to offset more carbon than ever put out during production, and you can recycle your sneakers with us as part of our TakeBack Scheme to make sure no sneaker ever ends up in landfill.

Previous / Next

- 100% Recycled Laces -

1 Plastic Bottle Becomes
1 Pair of Durable Recycled Laces.

We tested organic cotton laces, but they degraded in quality quickly and cotton requires a significant amount of water to produce.

So we opted for 100% recycled polyester laces - they're super durable, easy to clean and stay looking fresh for even longer.

- KENAF AND TREE FIBRE INSOLES -

Seriously Comfortable +
Biodegradable.

Our removable insoles are made with superior natural materials and they're also orthopedic. We don't compromise on comfort.

- Super Chunky Outsoles -

75% Recycled.
0% Compromise on Durability.

2 years of testing and development mean that our iconic soles are optimised to last. We've combined 75% recycled rubber from the fashion industry with 25% high-quality natural rubber to create a superior blend for reinforced strength.

We've also added extra thickness to the most common break points to provide even more support.

- Our Revolutionary Lining -

Corn Just Got Even Sweeter.

Our innovative new lining is a feature in all of our sneakers. It's made from 70% sweetcorn fibres and 30% recycled PET.

Plastic Doesn't Belong in our Oceans.

That's why we work closely with a global ocean clean-up initiative in Spain to bring value to waste. Our mesh is made with 100% recycled plastic and so far an estimated 600 tons of waste has been extracted from our oceans.

Let's take it out and keep it out!

- Trash Planet TakeBack Scheme -

And Fashion Don't Belong in Landfill

Let's make sure our shoes never end up there when you're finished with them. Send them back to us for recycling and get £10 to £20 off your next pair of Trash Planet sneakers.

It's our way of saying thank you for helping the planet.

- 15 Trees Planted For Every Pair -

Our War on Carbon

We always want to do better. That's why we'll plant 15 trees for every pair of Trash Planet sneakers that you purchase. But - it gets better. Our mangroves in Madagascar absorb up to 4x the amount of carbon than standard terrestrial forests.

So far, you've helped us to plant over 4,000 trees!

Here's to a greener, cleaner planet!
