MEMA Promotes Sustainability with Green Shoe Day at AAPEX

MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers announced the continuation of its annual Green Shoe Day, which will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 5, during AAPEX.

MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers is encouraging all companies exhibiting at AAPEX to wear green shoes on that day. That includes those not in the “Remanufacturing: Sustainable Manufacturing” section.

The initiative aims to highlight the aftermarket industry’s commitment to remanufacturing, eco-friendly manufacturing and resource conservation, fostering conversation and awareness.

“We wear green shoes to show that we walk the talk on sustainability,” said John Chalifoux, chief operating officer of MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers and chief sustainability officer at MEMA, The Vehicle Suppliers Association. “Green Shoe Day is more than a fun tradition; it’s a visible commitment by our industry to remanufacturing, sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. By participating, companies demonstrate that sustainability is a priority in both their operations and their culture.”

MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers suggests wearing Converse All Stars for Green Shoe Day. Attendees can visit the MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers booth in the Remanufacturing: Sustainable Manufacturing section on Level 2, A4665, on Wednesday.
