Are MoEa sneakers entirely made from biomaterials?Updated 2 months ago

No, on average, MoEa biomaterials are composed of 66% fruits and plants. We continuously collaborate with our partners to increase the natural content and reduce the fossil-based components. Innovation is moving in the right direction, as demonstrated by our 100% natural MushroomSkin!

Ultimately, a biomaterial consists of: Fruit or plant waste + binder (bio-PU, PLA) + textile base (recycled cotton, lyocell).

Here is the composition of our biomaterials:
