Description
Algenesis has developed Soleic, a plant based, low carbon, biodegradable urethane technology. The product portfolio includes TPU polymers and liquid PU systems, which are commercially available today.

PU foam for shoe parts - Insoles, midsoles, footbeds, cupsoles, outsoles
TPU for shoe parts - Heel counters, outsoles, foamed midsoles
TPU for coated textiles
If you use petrochemical urethane materials today, then we may be able to offer a more sustainable material
We even created our own shoe brand to demonstrate that a fully compostable shoe can be made> Blueview Footwear
