Erem joins Plastic Impact Alliance
Newly launched footwear brand Erem has joined the Plastic Impact Alliance, a grassroots commitment to eradicate single-use plastic from the outdoor industry.

It was launched in January 2019 at Outdoor Retailer by industry members dedicated to reducing single-use plastic.

Kristin Hostetter, co-founder of the Plastic Impact Alliance, said: “Our industry is passionate and leading the charge in sustainability and climate change. Eradicating single-use plastic from our businesses and events is one of the most basic and impactful things we can do on these fronts.”

The Plastic Impact Alliance counts more than 420 outdoor companies as members. In October 2021, it launched a polybag recycling pilot programme in Boulder, Colorado, in partnership with 10 local retailers and Eco-Cycle. Next year, the alliance will help its members find alternatives for the soft-film pallet wrap so prevalent at Outdoor Retailer.
