Beginning Products SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS STEP ON GREEN SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS FOR THE WORLD OF FOOTWEAR When we talk about STEP ON GREEN, we refer to the line of sustainable materials promoted by Synthelast SA for the world of footwear. This initiative seeks, on the one hand, to find a more ecological alternative to current materials from non-renewable sources such as oil, and on the other hand, to extend the useful life of the components used by recycling them. From Synthelast SA we have developed different alternatives of sustainable products that help to stop one of the biggest climatic problems that we face at this moment. Currently, 80% of marine debris is plastic and it is estimated that each year 8.8 million metric tons are dumped to the seabed. It is of great importance to reduce these amounts of waste, either by increasing the life cycle of products, revaluing materials with a first use, or using alternatives to traditional plastics. We have achieved this objective in Synthelast through three means of action: 1. Recyclability : a method already traditionally used such as self-recycling in thermoplastics, but improving efficiency and participating in projects such as CIRCLE to reuse out-of-use footwear materials in the manufacture of new ones, reducing waste and putting them back into value. 2. Recycled : use of recycled components from other sectors, such as agriculture, food, automotive, achieving a reduction in the consumption of raw materials and even achieving new finishes and designs. 3. Use of plastics of natural origin . In these materials, also known as bioplastics, their components are manufactured based on raw materials derived from the fermentation of natural products, such as corn, soybeans or sugar cane: in this way the demand and consumption of raw materials derived from petroleum and traditional chemistry. Synthelast SA is therefore focusing all its efforts on the innovation and development of new materials that, with the help of our clients, can offer the end consumer much more ecological and sustainable solutions for the world of footwear. Synthelast Recycled One of the great advantages of traditional thermoplastics is the great recyclability they offer, making it a widely used method in the footwear sector. At Synthelast we seek to improve the efficiency of this process, participating in projects such as CIRCLE to reuse materials from out-of-use footwear in the manufacture of new ones, reducing waste and putting them back into value.
