RECYCLING SAFETY SHOE

certified by

UPPER

Recycled from 92% PET bottles

MESH upper becomes PET upper. The shaft of our recycling shoe consists of 92% recycled PET bottles. The material is called REPREVE® polyester and is already used by numerous well-known brands. To produce REPREVE® polyester, plastic bottles and post-industrial waste collected worldwide are chopped, ground, washed and processed into high-quality flakes. These flakes are melted into liquid polymer and extruded through tiny openings in a spinneret, thus creating filaments that form the REPREVE® fibre. The company Unifi spins the fibre into yarn, from which a material is woven - REPREVE® polyester, which we process for the shaft of our ATLAS® Recycling Safety Shoe. In a comprehensive process we were awarded the U Trust® certificate, which confirms our compliance with the REPREVE® Certification Standards.

 

>> The topic of sustainability is anchored directly in our management at ATLAS®. In this way, we ensure that the aspect of sustainability is incorporated into all of the company's central decision-making processes. It is our intention with the Recycling Safety Shoe to consistently follow through with our clear green line: from sustainable resource procurement and environmentally friendly production through to responsible end products. We believe that implementing a sustainable supply chain is a prerequisite for running successful businesses in the long term nowadays. <<
