COMING TOGETHER FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
Like all of our shoes, Grove Wool is proof that Icebug’s sustainability work is not just for visibility; it’s an integrated part of the design, production, and functionality of our shoes. Read on to see how sustainability is integrated in every part of our classic winter boot.
All leather used in Grove has been Gold Certified by Leather Working Group. This guarantees that it is produced as sustainably as possible.
The midsole and insole are made with Bloom Foam, a type of foam made from algae harvested from eutrophic lakes. This process doesn’t just provide a natural, durable material to use in making shoes, but it also actively cleans waterways and keeps populations of harmful algae in check.
Strength in the heel and toe of a winter boot are crucial. At Icebug, we’ve found a way to strengthen your footwear while also strengthening the health of our oceans. Discarded fishnets are repurposed into a plastic that reinforces the heel and toe of our boots. This is an excellent example of how you can turn waste that would otherwise be a pollutant and turn it into something beneficial.
Icebug has partnered with Östersund’s Woolpower to create a more sustainable and durable shoes. Using Woolpower’s waste materials, we make not only woolen uppers for shoes, but wool insoles as well. Both the uppers and insoles can be seen in action on Grove. Scrap material from Woolpower's production create the upper part of Grove and ensure that you stay warm all winter.
This is how we reduce our climate footprint.
We at Icebug are serious about our climate work. We follow the UN's Climate Neutral Now initiative, measure the entire company's greenhouse gas emissions, and constantly change materials and processes to get a lower climate footprint. Our shoes must have a climate footprint lower than 6.45 kilos of CO2 per pair by 2030. Along the way, we share our materials and suppliers through our initiative for transparency, Follow the Footprints.
''Grove is a successful example of collaboration between the shoe and clothing industry. Woolpower's waste gets new life in Icebug's shoes''
