#315 Future Footwear – NFW on Material Innovations Displacing Plastics

https://shoeinshow.com/episode-player/2807/315-future-footwear-material-innovations.mp3

Alan Lugo, Product Strategy Manager, Natural Fiber Welding

Dr. Stephen Taylor, Soil Scientist & Circularity Engineer, Natural Fiber Welding

Footwear materials are innovating at breakneck speed, but shoes still contain a lot of plastics. Why is that and how is that changing? Ahead of Earth Day we wanted to have a robust discussion on the state of shoe material innovations with Natural Fiber Welding’s Alan Lugo and Dr. Stephen Taylor (a soil scientist working on shoe issues!). You’ll gain some great insights and wisdom on how to rethink shoe materials and brand sustainability strategy.
