Contrary to conventional EVA rubber outsoles, sugarcane-based EVA is recyclable, reusable, and compostable (industrial compost).
Sugarcane is an important natural raw material that absorbs carbon as it grows, and the parts from the plant which are not destined for food production are converted into traditional foam cushioning. This carbon-negative sugarcane-EVA replacement is a bio-based alternative to conventional petroleum-based EVA and is both lightweight, flexible, and recyclable, while also being shock absorbent.
