Biodegradable Shoes

Concept

Inspired by Nature 

The product concept comes from the Millenary Tribe inhabitants of the Amazon Rain Forest, who paint the soles of their feet with natural latex obtained from the Hevea trees. This enables them to move through the jungle more easily during the rainy season. This fine latex layer bio-degrades naturally back into the local environment after use…

Environmental respect

… A practical solution, natural and sustainable, adapted through time by the O1M Onemoment® company. A useful, functional, multi-use shoe made from 100% biodegradable raw materials

Technology

O1M Products are the result of years of investing in R&D, with a focus on improving daily quality of life through a shoe that integrates technology, comfort and respect for the environment.

Technique

  • The polymer injection technique allows a 1mm thickness for the shoe body, and 2mm for the sole, which is at least 3mm less than a traditional shoe.
  • Creates higher comfort with a skin-tight feeling.
  • This is a carbon-compressed process that allows for reduced CO² emissions.
  • Optimized machinery and production methods contribute to reducing energy consumption and consequently our environmental impact.

Materials

The O1M collection is developed from the state of the art high tech materials and biodegradable plastics, and extremely innovative production techniques, introduced from other fields not related to the shoe industry. The result is a product with high durability and elasticity whilst still respecting the environment.
