WHY TPU?
Standing for thermoplastic polyurethane, TPU is a trusted and reliable material in footwear. Due to its linear chemical structure, TPU can be recycled mechanically. Recycled TPU (rTPU) can be recycled several times without performance degradation.
TPU is a trusted entity in footwear for comfort performance with the following attributes:
• Cushioning
• Flexibility
• Ease of moldability
• Superior resistance to abrasions, scuffing, and oils and grease
rTPU50 lowers the impact of traditional TPU:
• Working toward reducing waste
• Made from 50% post-industrial recycled TPU
• Reduction in the use of virgin polymer
• Recyclable at end-of-life
It takes all of us to complete the cirql of sustainability
