Growing demand is driving innovation across the footwear industry. But true innovation needs collaboration at every step in the supply chain. We’re taking a new approach to design and manufacturing that will help enable all of us to find more sustainability solutions.

Right now, we’re exploring how using bio-based renewable feedstocks and the mass balance system can deliver, CO₂ reducing solutions that don’t compromise on performance. That means more products that deliver the same quality, durability, look and feel.

Ecolibrium™ bio-based technology is enabling polymers for footwear applications with a lower carbon footprint. This approach could also open up possibilities for recyclability of footwear at the end of life avoiding incineration or landfill. We’re proud to partner with Crocs, the first footwear brand to go-to-market with this new technology, while simultaneously exploring its potential with designers, marketers and wearers everywhere.
