Reimagining sustainable footwear
Imran Munshi, Global Market Segment Leader Consumer Applications at Dow, is a leading example of how embracing diversity of thought can drive breakthrough innovations and how bringing an entrepreneurial spirit to partnerships can reduce our carbon footprint and provide more circular, high-performance solutions.
One way Munshi and his team are embracing this entrepreneurial spirit and creativity is in partnership with Crocs. With a goal of reducing the impact of the fashion industry’s products on the environment, the Dow team and Crocs are bridging science with fashion to reimagine more sustainable footwear.
Crocs with more sustainable bio-based material
Through our collaboration, Crocs is now transitioning to integrate a new plant-based material into its Croslite™ foam by incorporating polymers based on Dow’s ECOLIBRIUM™ technology, which transforms sustainably sourced bio-waste and by-products from other industries into polymers, thus creating a lower CO2 impact without sacrificing performance. The ECOLIBRIUM™ technology is an example of Dow’s innovative approach to design and manufacturing, combining the ingenuity of materials science with the shared determination to ensure a healthy and sustainable planet for future generations.
This collaboration will go towards helping Crocs meet its sustainability goals and chart the path to carbon neutrality. It’s also laid the groundwork for ongoing partnership and innovation to further close the loop on polymers through exploration of advanced recycling technologies.
