Evoco, a privately-owned cleantech innovation company based in Toronto, Canada develops plant-based sustainable products that lead with performance and are fuelled by nature. The company works with natural materials to create innovative, sustainable products that previously relied on unhealthy, carbon-intensive materials and processes.
Global leaders in active footwear – Kodiak, Timberland and Vans to name a few – have partnered with Evoco to reimagine the materials used in their line-ups. Using plant-based and carbon-reducing technologies, Evoco has developed patented insoles – FATES – to offer a high-performance eco-foam alternative to traditional footwear end-use applications.
Powered by nature, Evoco combines innovative technology and bio-content to create better and more efficient products that don’t sacrifice sustainability for performance. Not here to greenwash, Evoco products like its FATES insoles and midsoles are up to 70-80 per cent plant-based, and USDA and GreenCircle certified.
“We’re not here to mislead or make ‘green claims’ about our products,” said Jason Robinson, CEO and Founder of Evoco. “Our mission is to close the loop on unsustainable goods – for good; meaning that our brand partnerships need to reflect our commitment to creating a sustainable impact on culture and climate today, and for future generations.”
With global footwear brands like Kodiak, Timberland and Vans using FATES eco-foam insoles as the foundation of their foot beds, their new and updated collections don’t compromise on quality. Designed with enhanced mechanical and strength-based properties, Evoco technologies replace traditional petrochemicals with green chemistry to create products with CO2 savings. The Evoco FATES eco-foam offers brand partners a superior compression set, improved comfort, and overall performance – footwear that transcends leisure and lifestyle.
“Every eco-amplification is change, so it was important for us to ensure that all our products are USDA and GreenCircle certified,” said Robinson. “It offers our customers transparency of our commitment for a sustainable future.”
With global brands such as CAT, KEEN, and Merrell having also partnered with evoco to create sustainable footwear products – the company’s mission to close the loop on unsustainable goods, is a step closer to getting there.
