Footwear industry is committed to sustainability, not volume
During a press conference, the Communication Director of APICCAPS, Paulo Gonçalves, stated that the sector's production capacity is adjusted to the 80 million pairs manufactured annually. Therefore, there will be no increase in footwear volume, and they are betting on innovation and sustainability to enhance product quality. Between 2022 and 2025, €80 million will be invested in environmental care, and €60 million for new technologies and processes.
