INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, people are very concern when it comes to their appearance especially Filipino students. They want to look nice every time they are going to their school they wear their proper uniform with their black shoes and one problem that we encounter is how to keep our shoes looking as good as new but as a student we experience problems especially in financial. So we therefore decided to make an alternative shoeshine. Shoe shine (or boot polish), is a waxy paste, cream, or liquid used to polish, shine, waterproof, and restore the appearance of leather shoes or boots, thereby extending the footwear's life.
We also decided to make shoeshine because some traditional shoe polishes contain chemicals that are toxic if ingested and can be harmful to the environment if improperly disposed of. We want to make a shoe shine that is made up of organic materials. We want to come up with a shoe shine that is truly eco-friendly and cheap.
METHODOLOGY

Our homemade shoeshine is very easy to do and requires only a few ingredients.
INGREDIENTS:
* Charcoal * Coconut oil * Candle
PROCEDURE
* Pound the charcoal until it become refined using a mortar and pestle * Liquefy the candle * Put the coconut oil * Wait until it begin to boil then put the refined charcoal * Make it boil again then filtrate it using a cloth and put it in the container * Wait until it dry up
NOTE: The amount of the oil and candle must be ratio so that it will not be to viscous and to

    The Sustainable Shoe Development literature review is based on a self-motivated research brief given to the third year students doing Graphic Design at Cape Peninsula University of Technology. The Sustainable Shoe Development assignment started at first through online research done on the self-chosen topic. The reason background research was done is to merely discover what measures and programs have been taken to create sustainable shoes for people to wear. The environment is of great concern to scientists across the worlds that have studied through research in their field of the harmful effects various substances can cause to the environment. Shoes contain harmful chemicals, which affect the environment vastly. Through my research done by conducting surveys, journals, books and other internet sources, I have discovered that there are policies put into place by leaders of Sustainable Shoe Development such as Puma, Nike and New Balance and shoes created by these companies which are environmentally friendly. Many are making the change across the globe to sustainable footwear, and South Africa and other countries are following in this direction as well. This literature review is conducted through research done through investigations by world leaders, which I explain in detail in the findings section. Most research and studies are done through the Internet these days, as well as journals. I have also proposed my own shoe design based on vast research I have found through online journals, surveys, videos and book sources. The productions of sustainable shoes are vital which are also explained in the findings and analysis section. This review contains a balanced view of both internationally and locally made sustainable shoes. There is a gap concerning the way United States of America has taken measures to protect the environment by proposing alternative shoe sources. Advanced measures are yet to be undertaken in…
