YULEX & BLOOM

Introducing Tretorn’s Latest Innovations: Bloom Insole and Yulex Foam

 As part of our commitment to sustainability and innovation, Tretorn is proud to introduce two groundbreaking materials in our latest shoe models: Bloom Insole and Yulex Foam. These eco-friendly materials are not only better for the environment but also enhance the comfort and durability of our footwear.

 Bloom Insole: A Step Towards Cleaner Water and Air

 The Bloom Insole is a revolutionary material that transforms waste bio-materials, like algae, into renewable and restorative components for footwear. By replacing fossil fuel-based materials, Bloom™ Insole offers a sustainable alternative that benefits both the planet and the wearer. Bloom™ uses waste materials rather than cultivated plants, avoiding deforestation, land disturbance, pesticide use, and competition with food production.

Key Benefits:

        •        Clean Water: The creation of Bloom materials removes over-abundant and harmful algae from water bodies, restoring clean and oxygenated water to the environment.

        •        Clean Air: Repurposing waste algae into useful materials prevents it from decomposing and releasing CO2 and other greenhouse gases, reducing carbon emissions resulting in cleaner air. 

        •        Environmental Impact: Address multiple global issues with one solution. Bloom™ replaces significant portions of petroleum-based materials with biopolymers that are renewable, recycled, and restorative. This reduces reliance on petroleum and interrupts the environmentally damaging cycle of eutrophication.

Yulex Foam: The Plant-Based Alternative to Neoprene

Yulex Foam represents the world’s first natural, plant-based replacement for neoprene and geoprene. Developed in partnership with Patagonia for their first neoprene-free wetsuit, Yulex Foam is now widely adopted by surf and watersport brands for it´s high performance and environmental benefits.

Key Benefits:

        •        Eco-Friendly Production: Yulex Foam is made from natural rubber, sourced from sustainably managed forests, and complies with the EU Deforestation-Free Products regulation.

        •        Performance and Comfort: This closed-cell foam offers excellent durability and comfort, making it ideal for high-performance footwear.
