Cinnamon-Scented Biodegradable Slides

The challenge is enormous

Balena's BioCir Slides are made from a proprietary, 100% biodegradable plastic and they set a new standard for the footwear industry with a material that's fully compostable and biodegradable. Balena's BioCir stands out as the first fully moldable, biodegradable elastomer and it provides a viable alternative to the abundance of plastic currently used by fashion brands for clothing and footwear.

The fully compostable slides for men and women are notably colored and scented using natural cinnamon. To support the most unique feature of these slides, the brand debuted a fully circular system called BioCycling that facilitates disposal and biodegradation in an industrial compost environment. Once a customer's slides have reached the end of their usable life, they can be returned to the company, so that the materials that made the slides can be returned to the earth.
