Making increasingly sustainable products, using materials whose impact on the environment is also certified. This is the goal of Tacchificio Villa Cortese (TVC), which in recent years has increased its efforts to reduce environmental impact at every stage of plastic material creation. Hence the FheelBio Bca (Bio Circular Attributed) line, which replaces part of the fossil raw material with sustainable bio-circular attributed materials from organic waste derived from domestic-industrial networks.
The sustainability of the raw material from which FheelBio™ heels are made is proven by ISCC Plus certification. "This is a certification that guarantees the level of sustainability through the mass balance scheme," explains Davide Carminati, Chief Innovation Officer of the Lombard company. "A chain of custody model (i.e., a scheme that preserves/certifies the chronological trace of the material) that allows the quantity and sustainability characteristics of circular and/or biobased content to be tracked in the value chain and attributed on the basis of verifiable accounting.
In practice, the mass balance system is intended to accelerate the use of renewable raw materials in chemical processes: their use in existing production facilities and supply chains gradually allows for a reduction in fossil input as demand and supply of renewable materials grow throughout the value chain.
TVC's material of choice is 65 percent biocirculating attributed mass share, but by next year this could be as high as 100 percent. A green goal that goes hand in hand with a high-performance product. Like its 'predecessor' FheelGreen, which was introduced three years ago, FheelBio™ is in fact a sustainable choice that makes no performance compromises and can be used to make all types of heels.
