The launch of our Ripple Shoe is a big moment for us and for the world of material innovation.
The Ripple is the first wearable product to showcase Liquidplant, our proprietary plant-based, high-performance alternative to petroleum-based plastic.
Fossil fuel-derived plastic has dominated footwear for decades and is a major reason the industry contributes an estimated 1.4%* of annual global greenhouse gas emissions.
There’ve been moments over the years when we wondered if it would be possible to create a material as durable as plastic out of plants. But we did it and solved an industry-wide problem.
The Ripple isn’t only a shoe; it’s a material platform, a solution to a very big problem, and a window into how we can solve the issue of plastic in other everyday products.
Let’s just say that we’re excited to see Liquidplant roll out across many other industries too.
