Sustainability Start-Up Shapes Future at the Sole of Footwear

Global leaders in active footwear – Kodiak, Timberland and Vans to name a few – have partnered with evoco ltd., a Canadian cleantech start-up, to reimagine the materials used in their line-ups. Using plant-based and carbon-reducing technologies, evoco has developed patented insoles – FATES – to offer a high-performance eco-foam alternative to traditional footwear end-use applications.

Powered by nature, evoco combines innovative technology and bio-content to create better and more efficient products that don’t sacrifice sustainability for performance. Not here to greenwash, evoco products like its FATES insoles and midsoles are up to 70-80 percent plant-based, and USDA and GreenCircle certified.

With global footwear brands like Kodiak, Timberland and Vans using FATES eco-foam insoles as the foundation of their footbeds, their updated collections don’t compromise on quality. Designed with enhanced mechanical and strength-based properties, evoco technologies replace traditional petrochemicals with green chemistry to create products with CO2 savings.

The evoco FATES eco-foam offers brand partners a superior compression set, improved comfort, and overall performance – footwear that transcends leisure and lifestyle.

With global brands such as CAT, KEEN, and Merrell having also partnered with evoco to create sustainable footwear products – the company’s mission to close the loop on unsustainable goods, is a step closer to getting there.
