Biodegradable Material Components

Cirql™, a Vietnam-based company focusing on sustainable footwear solutions, has unveiled Cirql Zero™, a biodegradable foam poised to redefine the future of footwear materials. This material is designed for midsoles and offers a fully compostable solution that addresses one of the industry’s most pressing challenges—keeping shoes out of landfills.

Cirql™'s two solutions are rTPU30, which integrates 30% post-consumer recycled content, reducing waste and supporting a circular production model. Additionally, Cirql Zero™ is designed for industrial composting, offering a seamless way to reintegrate materials into the environment without harm.

Making its debut at ISPO Munich, Cirql Zero™ headlines The Disappearing Shoe, a groundbreaking concept shoe entirely developed by Cirql’s team. The shoe showcases the material’s ability to deliver high-performance midsoles while highlighting the company's commitment to eco-conscious design.
