UGG's Plant Power Collection includes styles that are made with carbon-neutral, plant-based materials yet as fun and colorful as ever. The Fluff Sugar Platform and Fluff Sugar Sandal boast eye-catching designs and eco-friendly material choices such as the SugarSole derived from renewable sugarcane, which is significant for reducing dependency on fossil fuels. There's also texture-rich fluff made from plant-based TENCEL branded lyocell fibers made of wood pulp that comes from sustainably managed forests that are Forest Stewardship Council certified.
In the future, UGG Plans to introduce even more recycled, repurposed, plant-based and bio-based solutions and increase the use of these innovative materials by 35% by 2027. Additionally, the Plant Power Collection will be mindfully packaged in a way that helps to reduce shipping waste.
