Overview
- •Made from EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) blended with bio-based materials.
- •Degradable, so it leaves less lasting plastic waste after use.
- •Comfortable rebound, light weight, and easy to process.
- •Suitable for outsoles, midsoles, and insoles in sports and casual shoes.
EVA blended with bio-based materials
Degradable, with less long-term impact
Springy, well cushioned, and light
For outsoles, midsoles, and insoles
Comparison
| Feature | Degradable EVA Outsole | Conventional EVA Sole |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Material | EVA blended with bio-based materials | Conventional EVA (petroleum-based) |
| Degradation | Degrades in natural conditions | Hard to degrade; lasts in the environment |
| Elasticity & Comfort | Springy, well cushioned, light, and durable | Good elasticity, but less eco-friendly |
| Environmental Impact | Lower long-term impact | Higher long-term pollution |
