Creptician: Sustainability

We're taking the sneakers industry for a ride.

Our Process

one repair at a time.

001 In our current economy, we take materials from the Earth, make products from them, and eventually throw them away as waste – the process is linear.

002 In a circular economy, by contrast, we stop waste being produced in the first place and increase clothing utilisation. By keeping sneakers in use for as long as possible and diverting them from landfill, Creptician tackles climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and waste.

Our technology helps ‘repair’ our throwaway economy into one where waste is eliminated, resources circulated, and nature regenerated.

How we do it

Our ways of working

Logistics

Crepticians are the individuals who make up our teams and the partners across our value chain, from cobblers, artists, to our creative partners and logistic providers. We prioritise building an inclusive community with strong personal connections through our work and the space we create.

p2p

At Creptician, we pride ourselves on being the UK’s first peer-to-peer sneaker repairs marketplace. Our P2P business model is entirely built on sustainability: we do not purchase any stock or inventory as this would only add new items into circulation and eventually landfill, which, in our opinion, defeats the purpose of repairing.

compostable packaging

We want to ensure that we are as sustainable as possible, from our peer-to-peer business model to the packaging we send out to our Crepticians. All Creptician orders are packaged in our sustainable boxes, which are equipped with a secure seal and a double adhesive feature that allows them to be reused. Our boxes are made from a biodegradable material, which means that they can break down fully in a home compost in 180 days, or in a commercial compost in 90 days. All nutrients are returned back to our planet.
