Blueview: Redefining Sustainable Footwear

Last updated: Sep 11, 2022

Summary

Blueview creates biodegradable shoe for those committed to the future of the planet. Blueview shoes are made with plant-based materials that won’t hurt the planet or pollute the oceans and will completely break down when exposed to air, moisture, and microorganisms in compost.

Problem

Most shoes are made from non-degradable plastic that persists for 400 to 500 years on our planet. Recycling these non-degradable plastics isn’t doing enough. It is needed to reinvent materials that harmonize with nature and drive their adoption across the whole industry.

Solution

Designing footwear with plant-based materials. Sustainable materials made from plant-based oils (Soleic) instead of harmful synthetics that lead to plastic-littered beaches. This biodegradable products are backed by science and engineering to make sure the carbon-cutting practices that come from petroleum plactics.

Outcome

Every single component of the plant-based shoes biodegrade under aerobic composting conditions (ASTM D5338) - which means, they will completely break down when exposed to air, moisture, and microorganisms in compost.
