Some of the most avant-garde players have joined to create low-impact sneakers that use biomaterials, recycled waste, traceable supply chains, and more to ensure that your sneakers are a bit more friendly to the earth they’re walking over.

Material

Viridis® is one of the greener products among the synthetic fabrics:

• 43% bio polyols
• 26% FSC viscose
• 31% normal PU

Viridis® not only has a green origin due to its ingredients but it also shows to be sustainable throughout its entire life.

Zips

Ny2Life BIOBASED zippers are entirely made of Vestamid® Terra Biobased Nylon.

Developed by Evonik, Vestamid® Terra monomers are obtained from castor bean oil.

Ricinus communis, the castor bean plant, grows in arid area. Hence its cultivation neither affects food production nor does it cause land use change.
