In The Netherlands, World Bio Market Insights reported that ASICS SportStyle has launched the GEL-LYTE III CM 1.95 sneaker, which includes biobased materials.
According to the report, one of the shoe’s key features is the carbon-negative foam in the midsole and sockliner; a new carbon negative foam which incorporates a material made from a biobased polymer derived partially from sugarcane, called “SEPTON BIO-series” manufactured by Kuraray Co.
Go Suzuki, Senior General Manger for ASICS SportStyle said: “ASICS is committed to reaching the goal of becoming net-zero emissions by 2050. Not only is the GEL-LYTE III CM 1.95 sneaker the lightest CO2e emissions sneaker on market, but we are also confident that it is one of the most aesthetically compelling shoes, on top of being very comfortable for users’ daily activities.”
