Key Benefits
What Are These Slippers and Why Choose Them
These biodegradable disposable hotel slippers are designed specifically for guest room amenities. Made from cornstarch-based non-woven fabric and plant-based foam, they provide a comfortable, hygienic, and eco-friendly footwear option for your guests. Unlike traditional petroleum-based slippers, these fully decompose in commercial composting facilities within 180 days, reducing your property’s plastic waste footprint.
Comfort and Hygiene for Every Guest
Each slipper features a 5mm thick soft foam sole that cushions tired feet after a long day of travel. The non-slip textured bottom provides stability on polished hotel floors and bathroom tiles, preventing slips. The breathable upper fabric keeps feet dry and odor-free, while the open-toe design accommodates various foot sizes comfortably.
Sustainability Without Compromise
Certified by TUV Austria and compliant with EN 13432 industrial compostability standards, these slippers meet the growing demand for eco-conscious hospitality amenities. Switching to these slippers can reduce your property’s single-use plastic consumption by up to 40 kilograms annually per 100 rooms.

Real Customer Feedback
Here is the thing – I was skeptical that biodegradable slippers could feel as comfortable as the standard ones. After testing these for three months at our 40-room boutique hotel, guests have consistently complimented the soft feel and the fact that they do not slip on our tiled bathroom floors. One guest even asked where to buy them for home. Honestly, the only minor critique is that the slippers do not have a closed heel, so some guests with very cold feet prefer a full-back style. But for the price point and eco-benefit, these are a solid choice for any property looking to reduce plastic waste. – Maria K., Front Desk Manager at Greenleaf Inn
FAQ
How long do these slippers take to biodegrade?
In an industrial composting facility, they fully break down within 180 days. They are not designed for home composting due to temperature requirements.
Are these slippers waterproof?
They are water-resistant, not waterproof. The material will hold up to brief contact with water, but prolonged soaking will cause the cornstarch fibers to soften. They are best used for dry indoor wear.
What sizes do they fit?
One size fits most adults from US men 7 to 12 and women 8 to 13. The open-toe design allows for a comfortable range of foot shapes.
Can I customize them with my hotel logo?
Yes, we offer custom printing on the upper fabric for orders of 500 pairs or more. Contact our hospitality sales team for details.
How should I store them?
Keep in a cool, dry place below 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity, which can accelerate degradation before use.
