Hi Glyn, thank you for your comment. Most Crocs retailers should be able to offer you more information about the recycling options in the UK or other European country. Kate

When will the huge European market be able to recycle their Crocs and contribute to the SolesUnited effort?

I'm not too sure when this article was written but CROCS are recyclable. CROCS has a launched a program called "soles united." When your pair's tread wears out simply just donate back to the company. The shoes will be recycled into new shoes and they will be donated to people in need around the world; visit solesunited.com for more details. Obviously this is an awesome green conscious effort by CROCS.

Please do NOT donate Crocs with worn down treads to charities . The shoes are NOT non-slip once the treads are worn ...they are actually dangerously slippery then, much as worn auto tires are. The Crocs website talks about the need to replace Crocs with worn treads for this very reason.
