Overview
- •EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) compounded with bio-based materials.
- •Biodegradable — no long-term plastic pollution after end of service life.
- •Comfortable rebound, lightweight, and excellent processability.
- •Suitable for: sports and casual footwear outsoles, midsoles, and insoles.
EVA + bio-based material formulation
Biodegradable — no long-term environmental impact
High elasticity, superior cushioning, lightweight
Applicable to outsole / midsole / insole
Property Comparison
| Property | Degradable EVA Outsole | Conventional EVA Sole |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Material | EVA + bio-based material blend | Conventional EVA (petroleum-derived) |
| Degradation | Biodegradable under natural conditions — no pollution | Non-biodegradable, long-term environmental impact |
| Elasticity & Comfort | High elasticity, superior cushioning, lightweight & durable | Good elasticity, limited eco credentials |
| Environmental Benefit | Significant long-term environmental benefits | High long-term pollution footprint |
