The insole industry is facing a pressing issue that demands our immediate attention - unsustainable.

A staggering number of insoles flooding the market today are crafted from non-recycled materials, resulting in a detrimental impact on our environment. Compounded by the fact that these materials are non-biodegradable, the urgency to address this problem becomes even more evident.

The culprits behind this sustainability crisis are polyethylene foam and EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), which collectively make up over 60% of the insoles available on the market.

. Derived from plastics, these materials contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect, exacerbating environmental degradation. Although polyethylene is theoretically recyclable, it can persist in our surroundings for hundreds of years if not properly handled. Shockingly, the polyethylene foam segment currently dominates the market with a staggering 41% share.

Moreover, EVA foam, a popular choice due to its cushioning properties, lacks biodegradability, resulting in it becoming a concerning source of white pollution. Unfortunately, the recycling options for EVA foam remain limited, leaving us with the choice of either crushing it or sending it to landfills. Regrettably, there are no better alternatives for recycling EVA foam at present.

Recognizing the dire need for change, FITPACE has set its sights on a sustainable and innovative solution.

OceanFoam, a revolutionary composite foam that harnesses the power of algae, bio-oil, and recycled PET to create the next generation of comfortable and supportive insoles. OceanFoam not only matches the performance of traditional insoles but surpasses them while championing eco-friendliness.
This groundbreaking material relies on algae, a natural resource capable of utilizing carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis. By incorporating algae into the manufacturing process, OceanFoam not only provides unparalleled comfort but also alleviates pain, fatigue, and stiffness in our feet. Nature, in its boundless generosity, not only nurtures but also offers the solutions we seek.

Additionally, we have taken a proactive stance in reducing pollution and promoting waste recycling. Within our sturdy insole-shank lies ReDebris, an array of vibrant specks crafted from repurposed plastic waste. By repurposing discarded plastic, we not only mitigate its harmful impact on the environment but also give it a new lease on life. It is our commitment to minimize the creation of new plastic while delivering the support you need.

In our relentless pursuit of sustainability, we have embraced GreenKnit, an innovative material derived from recycled plastic fibers. Designed to be odor-resistant, antibacterial, and anti-slip, GreenKnit showcases our dedication to a greener future.

With over 80% of our materials sourced sustainably, 53% of FITPACE's end products are recyclable, while the remaining 47% are bio degradable.

The insole industry's unsustainable practices are being challenged head-on, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this transformative movement. By combining cutting-edge technology with nature's inherent wisdom, we have created insoles that not only meet your needs but also safeguard the planet we call home.

Join us on this journey towards a greener future, where sustainability and comfort coexist harmoniously. Together, we can make a tangible difference and pave the way for a better world.
