Increased comsumption of natural resources, combined with their finiteness and environmental degradation, awaken the need for studies involving the use of renewable materials and the pursuit of sustainability (environmental, social and economic). In design, as in other areas of knowledge, methodologies are crucial as they outline for product development, being characterized by strongly oriented principles and procedures. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of a product should range from the extraction of the raw materials to disposal after use, because in some cases, some components used in the manufacture of footwear can cause contamination and imbalance to the environment when disposed of in household waste. Thus, the substitution of materials and processes by others less impactful can give competitive and environmental advantages, and should be encouraged by the various segments that develop theories and practices used by the footwear industry. Ww studied the application of ecodesign methodology to the development of women's shoes, from renewable materials such as castor (polyurethane) and bamboo in natural and laminated form. Components of footwear (heels, heels and ornaments) have been developed with these materials, which were submitted to physical-mechanical test (NBR 7190:1997, NBR 14739:2010 and NBR 15190:2005). After the technical feasibility study of the components three prototypes of shoes were built, which were assessed in a qualitative manner by manufacturers and consumers of APL (Local Productive Arrangement) Jau. The results showed a good technical development of the components, resulting in prototypes with good acceptance among manufactures and consumers in their technical, innovative and aesthetic aspects
