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
