Sustainable approach

 

Unisus Club creates sneakers and clothing the Unisus way. Our icon represents a commitment to respect our animal and plant friends. This means radically challenging industry standards. To achieve this, Unisus Club has teamed up with like-minded partners who are pioneering sustainable, eco-conscious solutions.

OUR SUSTAINABLE SNEAKER FEATURES

Unisus Club proudly presents the GEO1 sneaker. The timeless design of GEO1 draw inspiration from geological strata and natural forms. The distinctive green sole makes a powerful statement: the green footstep into the future embraced by the generation of eco-conscious humans. The design process for GEO1 involved meticulous material research, resulting in the incorporation of industry-leading, cutting-edge solutions. Certificates build trust and protect against overstatement.

OUTSOLE

The outsole is made from ethically sourced natural rubber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which prioritises the preservation of natural habitats for optimal biodiversity. By using natural rubber for the sole, millions of microplastic particles are prevented from being released into the environment through normal wear and tear.

UPPER PART

The upper of the GEO1 is made from award-winning, PETA approved, olive vegan leather next-gen material, which has the highest bio-content ratio in the industry. This is achieved by using bio-waste from the olive oil pressing process, transforming the otherwise unusable bio waste into a sustainable and luxurious material. For the GEO 1 Artisanal style, we combine the olive vegan leather panels with 100% linen fabric made in Italy.

OTHER COMPONENTS

We have chosen a cosy and comfortable organic bamboo terry for the lining, while the footpad is made from no-gel foam infused with natural latex and non-woven natural materials to provide both breathability and cushioning. An antibacterial treatment is incorporated to maintain hygiene, and the insole is made from 90% biodegradable natural materials. Our laces are made from organic cotton, all sourced from Portugal.

MANUFACTURING

Each pair of GEO1s is handcrafted in Portugal by an ISO 14001 certified manufacturer known for its expertise and commitment to sustainability. In an industry where ethical production practices are often elusive, we have partnered up with a mindful family business where employees are not only fairly paid, but also work in a safe environment, reflecting our commitment to ethical standards. With production in the main footwear region of Portugal, most of our materials are sourced locally to reduce both the carbon footprint and excess stock production.

CLOTHING

At Unisus Club we use organic cotton with GOTS, OEKO-TEX and FAIRWEAR certificates. We use recycled polyester on selected items.
