Indosole

The Indosole Singapore story would not be possible without the vision of Kyle Parsons, Indosole founder and CEO. During a trip to Bali some years ago, he purchased a pair of sandals with soles made from motorbike tyres. The unique sandals prompted Kyle to learn more about the worldwide tyre problem, and he found that over one billion waste tyres end up in landfills every year. It was this startling statistic, and what should be done to alleviate this problem that was the impetus to launch the Indosole brand in 2009. To this day, it is the foundation on which Indosole is built. Repurposing rubber tyres, which are consciously sourced from landfills, mechanic garages, and gutters from all around Bali and other islands of Indonesia. We have built continuous relationships based on respect and trust with the original suppliers and artisans employed since the brands humble beginnings.

Indosole Singapore’s Jennifer Gregory is a self-confessed eco-junkie who often [gently] imposes her recommendations for living with less and making changes for good upon her family and friends. Her move to Singapore, from Australia, in 2017 accelerated her mission to seek out businesses and people with a strong ethos of sustainability, after seeing the excessive use of single-use plastics, endless streams of litter, and how little recycling was done of it all.
