Resumo: The Portuguese footwear has the second most expensive pair of shoes produced in Europe (Italy has the most expensive), it is the only country in the world that produces more footwear than it consumes. The main environmental impacts caused by this sector are at residues containing chromium in its composition, such as leather flaps and leather powder, which are difficult materials to degrade by the environment and therefore highly polluting. Being a thriving industry is also one of the firsts to have concerns with the issue of sustainability, emerging already same cases of good practice in the framework of sustainable strategies. This paper uses the case study research strategy of footwear brands and Portuguese accessories. The field study shows that the most commonly adopted sustainability principles are the choice of less polluting materials, less aggressive tanning leather, or even alternative materials. Products created with greater cultural value and in a more traditional way, towards the adoption of a slow fashion in the footwear sector.

Les principaux effets environnementaux causés par ce secteur sont dus aux résidus contenant du chrome, tels que débris et poudre de peau, des matériaux difficiles à dégrader dans l'environnement et sont donc très polluants. Elle est une industrie florissante mais également l'une des premières à se préoccuper de la durabilité, certaines bonnes pratiques étant déjà en place dans les stratégies de durabilité. Cet article explore la méthode de recherche à travers des études de cas de marques portugaises de chaussures et accessoires. L'étude sur le terrain montre que les principes de durabilité les plus couramment adoptés consistent à choisir des matériaux moins polluants, du cuir tanné moins agressif, voire des matériaux alternatifs. Les produits sont créés avec une plus grande valeur culturelle et de manière plus traditionnelle, en allant vers l'adoption de la mode lente dans le secteur de la chaussure.Institutional National de Cercetare-Dezvoltare Pentru Texttile PielarieUniversidade do MinhoAzambuja, PatríciaMarques, António DinisBroega, A.
