Announcement underscores the brand's unique approach to circularity through using more sustainable materials and progress to 2030 bio-circular goal
Crocs' unique approach to sustainable materials innovation means that consumers can expect the same Crocs – same style, same comfort, same durability, same price – now with even better materials. While many footwear brands take an approach of focusing on a singular sustainable product line or item that often comes at a premium, Crocs is proud to roll out bio-circular content across its portfolio of shoes at no additional charge.
"We believe that to truly make an impact, we can leverage our innovative mindset and drive sustainability transformation, starting with our most widely used materials," said Deanna Bratter, Chief Sustainability Officer, Crocs, Inc. "Sustainability should not be a tradeoff. Fans can feel confident that they are getting the same style and comfort they know and love from Crocs without having to make choices between comfort or better materials – we are giving them both and making it even easier to do good with each pair."
In recent years, Crocs has continued to accelerate the use of independent, third-party certified bio-circular content in Croslite material. Using bio-circular materials means that Crocs is taking plant-based byproducts that would have otherwise ended up as waste, like cooking oil from the food industry, to make its Croslite material. Doing so helps lower the brand's already low carbon footprint while still making the most comfortable shoes on the market. Bio-circular materials are less emissions-intensive than their virgin, fossil-fuel based counterparts.
In 2021, Crocs set a goal to reach
"As part of our commitment to Create a More Comfortable World for All, the Crocs brand is making tremendous strides in bringing Comfort for the Planet through our Circularity and Climate ambitions," said Andrew Rees, CEO, Crocs, Inc. "It is incredibly exciting to see the significant and tangible progress we are making to reduce our carbon footprint and do better for the planet through innovation like the sourcing and incorporation of more sustainable materials across our products."
Sourcing materials that are more sustainable is a key piece of the journey in reducing emissions toward the company's goal of Net Zero by 2040. The brand is working to make a positive impact with its efforts related to circularity, including innovating materials and keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible.
