leek fibers, water, in part natural glycerin (for flexibility)

The large proportion of fibrous waste that accrues when harvesting leeks is here used as a raw material for compostable products. The idea is presented taking the example of a shoe. By boiling, shredding, pressing (using a molded cast) and drying, a sandal was produced without adding binders as a natural adhesive arises in the process.
