OrthoLite's commitment to sustainable footwear is taking a leap forward with the launch of Cirql rTPU30, a fully recyclable midsole that's made with 30% recycled TPU material. Manufactured through a chemical-free, supercritical foaming process, Cirql rTPU30 meets the industry's demands for more sustainable footwear innovations.

With 16 patents granted and more pending worldwide, Cirql rTPU30 gives footwear brands a scalable and eco-friendly option to meet sustainability goals and is tested by third-party labs. This material also passes essential midsole spec tests, ensuring both quality and performance.

“Our goal is to exceed the expectations of footwear developers searching for advanced, sustainable footwear materials designed with consideration for their end-of-life,” said Glenn Barrett, founder and CEO of OrthoLite. “OrthoLite is proud to meet the staggering demand from our 550+ brand partners for more trusted solutions with Cirql rTPU30.”
