BioCir®Flex is a next-generation material that combines high-performance capabilities with environmental responsibility
Bio-based Innovation
Made from sustainable sources like castor beans, oils, and polysaccharides, ensuring it does not compete with food resources.
Dyed Naturally
The S-Wave Sport trainers incorporate BioCir®Flex dyed with natural cinnamon, highlighting its non-toxic properties.
Durable & Flexible
As durable as TPU and as flexible as rubber, it absorbs impact and responds to motion, making it ideal for footwear.
“I mean this is insane. My shoe designer came up to me and said, ‘smell the sole’. It’s made of cinnamon waste. It smells of cinnamon! And it's basically 100% plant based, recyclable and biodegradable textile. Its a closed-loop production, so it ensures completely zero waste. It is mindblowing.”
