Take a look at a sustainability infographic \u2014 any sector, any company. You\u2019ll usually find rounded figures, reassuring colours, and targets set for 2030. Rarely you find the carbon footprint broken down between upstream and the production process, measured per pair, and declared separately for three different materials. Go!Zero Recycle, however, does just that.<\/p>\n

It is the range of recycled soles from Gommus, a Marche-based company certified to UNI EN ISO 14001 that powers its production almost exclusively with renewable energy. Three materials, three technical data sheets, three carbon footprints measured using the cradle-to-gate LCA methodology in accordance with PCR 2021:06.<\/p>\n

The figures: for the rubber<\/b>, 1.45 kg CO\u2082eq per pair, with 49.7% recycled material. At least 25% comes from internal production waste, certified by Bureau Veritas in accordance with UNI EN ISO 14021:2016. TPU<\/b>: 0.67 kg CO\u2082eq per pair, with 97% recycled content \u2014 soles made from 100% recycled thermoplastic polyurethane, which retain the elasticity and abrasion resistance of traditional TPU. Blowtech<\/b>, the super-lightweight compound: 2.06 kg CO\u2082eq per pair, with 29.8% recycled content. Also available in the Blowtech-GUM version, with a higher rubber content, for those seeking superior aesthetics and performance.<\/p>\n

The paradox lies precisely in the data. The material with the highest percentage of recycled content \u2014 97% TPU \u2014 is the one with the lowest carbon footprint. The more you recover, the less you emit. It is not automatic: it requires that production too be powered by renewable sources, otherwise the environmental benefit is lost in the process.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting something else. For rubber, the upstream phase \u2014 extraction and processing of raw materials \u2014 accounts for 45% of the total footprint, whilst the internal process accounts for 55%. For TPU, the proportion is reversed: the core (A3) accounts for 88.7%, the upstream phase for just 11.2%. Recycled material drastically reduces the impact of the upstream supply chain.<\/p>\n

\u2018Light footprint, Gommus quality\u2019: the line\u2019s slogan doesn\u2019t lie, but it must be read in both directions. Light on the foot, light on the planet. One does not come at the expense of the other.<\/p>\n
