First Hard Shell Made with Castor Seeds

Each layer is made of plant-grade environmentally friendly materials, which are 80% lower in carbon emissions than traditional hard shell, and have broken through the previous technology of only one or two layers of environmentally friendly fabrics.0 z The fabric has not been dyed, showing the natural milky white color of the fiber with high recycling efficiency. It can be recycled and processed by professional technology for secondary use, which could reduce 85% of carbon emissions and minimize environmental pollution.
Virgin Colors
We eliminated the most enviromentally damaging step in the production process - dyeing. The Virgin Series is presented in the natural color of the yarn and fibers.

Bio-based and sustainable recycled materials

The HOVER insoles use a certain proportion of recycled rubber material to reduce resource consumption, and incorporate bio-based and environmentally friendly materials such as sugarcane and coffee grounds into the shoe soles to increase product biodegradability.

Product
Sustainability

RECYCLABLE

Reason: Each year the world generates more landfill wastes that can fill up more than 800,000 Olympic-sized swimming pool, measuring more the 2 Billion tonnes, we aim to reduce that by using materials does not need to end up in landfills at the end of the products life cycle. Effort: The main construction material of UPPERVOID's product with this identification is made with materials that can be reprocessed and re-used under professional recycling processes, making the lifecycle of smaller building blocks of our product longer than life.

RECYCLED

Reason: Landfills last for ever and contaminates the ground.Effort: As we aim to dump less into landfills, we also try to prevent other products not made by UPPERVOID end up in landfills. Products with this identification mean the main construction material of the product is made with recycled material, meaning it had a life before as another man-made product. This contributes to a circular economy by decreasing the demand for virgin resources.

BIO-BASED

Reason: Non-renewable resources are non-renewable, simple. And the process of transformation into synthetic materials is carbon emissions heavy.Effort: UPPERVOID Products with this identification means the main construction material of the product is derived from renewable biological sources such as plants or microorganisms, which not only helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions throughout its manufacturing lifecycle.

DECOMPOSABLE

Reason: Whats better than give back to mother earth what it gave us/Effort: The identification means the product can break down naturally into organic matter through biological processes, either quickly as compostable material or more slowly as biodegradable material, thus returning nutrients to the soil, completing a "From the Earth to Back to the Earth as it is"

ORGANIC

Reason: Cash crops that are used for harvesting into fabrics are usually treated with enamors amount of chemicals that are both harmful to the environment and eventually human bodies that come in contact. At the same time, these chemicals might end up in the end product and cause irritation on the bodies of the wearer. Effort: This identification means the main construction material is made from plant fibers grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers that adheres to strict organic farming standards that promote environmental sustainability and reduce chemical exposure for both consumers and ecosystems.

NATRUAL FIBER

Reason: Almost all synthetic materials are made from a variation of non-renewable resourceEffort : This identification means the main construction material is made from fibers sourced directly from plants or animals, which are biodegradable, less toxic than synthetic alternatives, less greenhouse emission and of course, less usage of non-renewable resources.

NON-DYED

Reason: Dyeing process is by far one of the most polluting process of the entire apparel manufacturing process. Effort: This identification process means the product has not been synthetically nor naturally dyed at the fabric stage, enormously saving water and polluting dye from ending up in soils, bodies of water and ground water. These products vary slightly in color as they are the original color from fibers.

BIO-DYED

Reason: Non-Dyed product can only be in shades of off whites Effort: For other colors, we use dyes that's from a source of either plants or organisms. Although saving less water than non-dyed, this process still reduces toxic chemicals from ending up in the environment.

HUMANE

Reason: Animals that are raised specifically for their use of clothing materials are more often than not kept in conditions that are unethical that can inflict bodily and psychological pain on them, and during the harvesting process these animals are usually treated gruesomely. Effort: Products with this identification are either 1. Made with animal parts that are sourced from animals that are taken care of under ethical conditions that prioritize animal welfare and obtained from the animals in ways that limit the pains of the animals as much as possible. 2. Made using synthetic alternative materials that have the same functionality in our products as if using materials from animals.

LESS SHEDDING

Reason: Microplastic is one of the biggest pollution in water ways and bodies of water on Earth as well as intrusive objects in marine animals.
Effort: Products with this identification use materials that employ special technique or manufacturing process that greatly reduces the amount of release of microplastic during the washing process.
