Sustainable Insoles: Because Every Step Count

Sustainable Insoles: Because Every Step Count

Sustainability is no longer a trend — it’s a business imperative. From consumers to regulators, the demand for eco-conscious products is growing fast. At Jaime Henriques da Silva, we believe that true sustainability lies in the details. And insoles, while small in size, play a critical role in reducing the overall environmental footprint of footwear and orthopedic products.

That's why we’ve made it our mission to develop sustainable insoles that deliver on performance, comfort, and responsibility.

 

Why Sustainable Insoles Matter

Insoles are often overlooked when it comes to sustainability — but they shouldn’t be. They’re present in nearly every shoe on the market, and often made from synthetic, non-recyclable materials. By switching to eco-friendly insoles, brands can:

  • Enhance the sustainability profile of their entire product line

  • Appeal to a growing base of environmentally conscious customers

  • Support ESG goals and certifications (e.g. ISO, GRS, OEKO-TEX®)

  • Gain a market edge with innovation and responsible sourcing

Our Approach to Eco-Friendly Insoles

We offer a range of sustainable insole options, including:

♻️ Recycled Materials

Post-consumer and post-industrial foams and fabrics that retain durability and comfort while reducing waste.

🌿 Natural Components

Agave/Sisal, Cork, Coir (coconut fiber), Kenaf, Linen, Organic Cotton, Hemp and Bamboo — all renewable and biodegradable.

🧪 Safe Chemistry

Low-VOC adhesives and non-toxic dyes to ensure user safety and cleaner manufacturing processes.

🛠️ Smart Engineering
