Sugarcane is a waste-free material: the byproducts of crushing are used as energy and fertilizer, and the sugar left over after crushing is recycled into SweetFoam®, the world's first carbon-negative midsole, to keep you comfortable wherever you go.
SweetFoam® is made from sugarcane grown sustainably in the southern region of Brazil, where abundant precipitation favors the plant. They don't require irrigation and thrive on rainwater alone. Sugarcane grows back quickly after use, making it completely renewable and a carbon-negative material that absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases from its growth to manufacturing.
Our sugarcane is sourced using the strictest standards to protect people and the environment. These standards are set jointly by Proforest and our partner Braskem, and our partner farms are separately audited by an independent third party to ensure that all standards are being met.
