Recycled Emissions Footwear

'On Running' Has Launched 'CleanCloud,' a Shoe Foam Created From CO2

— November 30, 2021 — Eco
'On Running' has spent four years researching and developing a new ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam for recycled emissions footwear with the help of 'LanzaTech,' and 'Borealis.' This three-team process involves LanzaTech capturing the emissions and concentrating them into ethylene gas, Borealis refining the emissions into EVA pellets, then On Running taking this material and creating a shoe foam.

The result is 'CleanCloud,' a 100% recycled emissions shoe foam that will become the new standard for On Running products. While this is a long process, the result is entirely worth the investment in the eyes of On Running. Creating a recycled emissions material for footwear could potentially revolutionize the industry to become more sustainable, particularly by using fewer plastics.

On Running is researching which other parts of its products can be made out of recycled emissions in the future.
