| EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) | An EVA sole is a plastic sole that can be lighter and more flexible than rubber. EVA stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. It is an elastomer polymer that produces "rubber-like" materials due to its softness and flexibility. This plastic is made by combining ethylene and vinyl acetate to create rubber-like properties suitable for shoe soles. |
| AMAZON RUBBER | Each VEJA sole is made up of 20 to 30% rubber sourced from the Amazon rainforest. The seringueiros (rubber tappers) are paid according to fair trade principles. Using this Amazon rubber increases the economic value of the forest and protects it from deforestation. |
| ORGANIC COTTON | The canvas is made from 100% certified organic cotton. The cotton is grown in Brazil and Peru by cooperatives that respect people and the environment, following fair trade principles. In Brazil, the cotton is organic and agroecological, a farming method that enriches the soil after cultivation by promoting species complementarity and water retention in the soil. In Peru, organic cotton farmers receive support for certification and benefit from technical and financial assistance to improve their production. |
