ChromeFree leather: The bovine ChromeFree leather is smooth and light. Coming from farms located in the south of Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), it undergoes an innovative tanning process where no chrome, heavy metals or dangerous acids are involved. By simplifying the tanning process, the use of chemicals and energy is limited, the use of water is reduced by about 40% and the use of salt by 80%. After tanning, the water is recyclable.

11% Amazonian rubber: A unique natural material sustainably sourced directly from wild rubber trees in the Amazon rainforest. Unlike rubber from monoculture plantations, this rubber is harvested using a traditional tapping method that does not damage the trees and allows them to regenerate. In footwear, Amazonian rubber stands out for its high elasticity, natural grip and durability. Moreover, its use has a major ecological and social impact: it increases the economic value of standing forest, helping to combat deforestation, and provides a fair income for local communities of gatherers (seringueiros).

12% Organic cotton: Grown from non-GMO plants, without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. The entire growing process uses natural methods that conserve water, maintain the natural fertility of the soil and protect the biodiversity of local ecosystems. For the end user, organic cotton is exceptional because of the high purity of its fibre, which is free of chemical residues. The result is a material that is incredibly soft, breathable and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. By choosing organic cotton products, you are supporting sustainable agriculture and safer working conditions for growers.

11% Recycled E.V.A: A greener version of conventional EVA foam, made from recycled material - such as manufacturing waste or old soles. It is mainly used in the midsoles and insoles of shoes, where it provides cushioning and comfort, but also helps to reduce the ecological footprint.

31% Amazonian rubber: Sourced from natural latex sustainably harvested in the Amazon rainforest. It is used in the soles of VEJA sneakers, supporting biodiversity and local communities while reducing the ecological footprint of shoe production.

22% Rice waste: The use of rice waste in the construction of outsoles represents an ecological innovation that replaces part of the synthetic rubber with natural materials. Rice husks (a byproduct of agriculture) are added to the rubber mixture, serving as a natural filler and reinforcing element. This technology does not compromise the quality of the outsole; rather, it enhances its specific mechanical properties. The result is a durable and functional sole that significantly reduces the proportion of petroleum derivatives in the product while utilizing the potential of biologically renewable resources.
