While many brands have incorporated TPU into their midsoles as a replacement for EVA…
Cirql RTPU30 is the only patented, scalable midsole using recyclable TPU made from 30% recycled post-consumer waste.
WHY TPU?
Standing for thermoplastic polyurethane, TPU is a trusted and reliable material in footwear. Due to its linear chemical structure, TPU can be recycled mechanically. Recycled TPU (rTPU) can be recycled several times without performance degradation.
TPU is a trusted entity in footwear for comfort performance with the following attributes:
• Cushioning
• Flexibility
• Ease of moldability
• Superior resistance to abrasions, scuffing, and oils and grease
rTPU30 lowers the impact of traditional TPU:
• Working toward reducing waste
• Made from 30% recycled post-consumer waste
• Reduction in the use of virgin polymer
• Recyclable at end-of-life
Are you ready to step toward true circularity for your brand?
