Recycled Polyester (PET)

This material is made using post-consumer recycled polyester (PET) derived from plastic bottles, therefore requiring fewer resources than that of new fibers and generating fewer CO2.

Recycled Thermoplastic Rubber

A malleable blend of synthetic rubber and plastic, this material has the ability to be recycled and reused, thereby reducing carbon emissions, water pollution and the use of new raw material.

Waterborne Polyurethane

Waterborne polyurethane is manufactured with a technology that uses less chemical solvents, energy and water.

Recycled Polyurethane

This material is derived from a polyurethane skin coating on a recycled polyester sub layer. The production of this material requires fewer resources than that of new fibers and generates fewer CO2.

Recycled Polyestern Yarn (PET)

This material is made using post-consumer recycled polyester (PET) derived from plastic bottles.

Ethylene Vinyl-Acetate (EVA) With Algae

Ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) foam is an insole material derived from algae biomass. By removing algae build-ups, we help create and filter freshwater & keep CO2 from entering the atmosphere.
