Latex, the material extracted from plants to make rubber, is found and collected in tree trunks.  Once the rubber is extracted, rubber manufacturers buy the latex and have it shipped to their factory to begin its next step. Around 6.8 million metric tons of rubber are produced each year. ]]> 2019-02-20 20:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/s319341/cg1a1ujh59yu/wish/333371103 s323721 https://padlet.com/s319341/cg1a1ujh59yu/wish/333377598 Canvas, the material that makes up the majority of the shoe and s found on the top and back of the shoe, is made of cotton, which is grown in the U.S. and Uzbekistan.

While the shoe itself is made of canvas, which is most likely already white, the shoe must be bleached to make the coloring uniform and brighter. Bleach is made from a chemical reaction of sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas. Chlorine can be found in sea water and salt mines. Sodium Hydroxide, however, does not occur naturally, but is easy to create chemically. Over 200 million tons of salt are mined each year and the United States, China, and Japan buy the most salt in the world.
