Go Planet-D by Debongo: World's First 100% Sustainable and Circular Footwear Brand

Go Planet-D by Debongo, an Indian brand, has emerged as the world’s first 100% sustainable and circular footwear brand, setting a significant milestone for Indian businesses on the global stage.

This achievement reflects the rise of a new India with a focus on sustainability and innovation. By adopting a fully sustainable and circular business model, Go Planet-D by Debongo is reshaping the footwear industry with eco-friendly practices aimed at reducing environmental impact.

Sustainability focuses on preventing the depletion of natural resources, while the circular economy ensures materials are reused, refurbished, or recycled, keeping them in circulation instead of discarding them as waste. Go Planet-D by Debongo embodies these principles, creating footwear made entirely of recyclable materials.

The brand introduces an innovative model that allows customers to resell their used footwear back to the company at a fixed price. After collection through courier services, the footwear is 100% recycled, and the materials are renewed into new products, ensuring zero waste. This closed-loop system positions Go Planet-D by Debongo as the world’s first zero-waste footwear brand, with a patent pending for the process.

In a market where sustainable products are often priced for the affluent, Go Planet-D by Debongo aims to make eco-friendly footwear accessible to all. The brand plans to adopt an affordable pricing model, transforming sustainability into a movement for people from all social classes.

The concept of Go Planet-D by Debongo was conceived by VKC Razak, Managing Director of India’s VKC, who brings over three decades of experience in the footwear industry. Razak’s vision of long-lasting footwear at honest prices has guided the brand's mission to serve the masses with innovative and sustainable solutions.

Speaking about the launch, VKC Razak said, “I am extremely happy that we are ready to roll out this magnificent 100% sustainable and circular footwear brand for the world from India. We are planning to ensure that eventually we manufacture all the Go Planet-D by Debongo products end-to-end at our own manufacturing units.”

With its commitment to sustainability and inclusivity, Go Planet-D by Debongo is set to revolutionize the global footwear market, starting from India. This groundbreaking initiative marks a significant step toward a modern, eco-conscious world.
