What is BioCir\u00ae Flex?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Innovated by Balena, a next-gen material science company, BioCir\u00ae Flex is a non-toxic, compostable, recyclable and biobased alternative to conventional plastics seen in our new S-Wave Sport trainers, debuted as part of the Autumn 2025 collection. It absorbs impact, responds to motion and is as durable as TPU and flexible as rubber, and is dyed with natural cinnamon.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a>Why are conventional plastics bad for the planet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic materials shed microplastics throughout every stage of their lives. If incinerated, they release toxic substances into the air \u2013 meaning the ways in which we can destroy, or even recycle, them are extremely limited. Because of this, 35% of microplastic pollution in our oceans comes from synthetic clothing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
