PLIANTā¢ outsoles by Natural Fibre Welding (NFW) are the worldās first naturally cured, USDA-certified 100% biobased outsoles. PLIANTā¢ is made with natural rubber from responsibly managed trees. 70% of what is marketed as rubber today is synthetic (or in other words, made from fossil fuels), and even natural rubber is typically cured with petrochemicals. In a technological leap forward, PLIANTā¢ is naturally cured with NFWās revolutionary patented plant-based curative. This curative means that PLIANTā¢ outsoles are both recyclable and naturally circular ā PLIANTā¢ can safely and naturally return to the earth at end-of-life. PLIANTā¢ outsoles truly stand apart.
