where sustainability + performance go hand in hand.
ABOUT
At On, performance and sustainability go hand in hand. Dedicated to minimizing their negative impacts while conserving natural resources, On's focus areas include:
-Preferred Materials
-Reducing Corporate CO2 Footprint
-Circular Product
Stop by today to learn more about On and the efforts they are making to not only create incredible products but also protect the planet.
PREFERRED MATERIALS
Polyester is the material On uses more than any other. To reduce the environmental footprint associated with their use of this performance fabric, they are working to phase out virgin polyester and polyamide and use only 100% recycled Polyester (rPES) and 100% recycled Polyamide (rPA).
At the moment On is focusing on recycled materials, but they believe's the future is not petrol-based. That’s why they're researching and testing alternative materials like man-made Cellulosics (MMCs), which come from renewable sources like tree bark, castor oil and sugar cane.
REDUCING THEIR CO2 FOOTPRINT
On joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to show their commitment to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. The SBTi is a collaboration between the Carbon Disclosure Project, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It defines and promotes best practices in science-based target setting and independently assessing companies' targets.
Each year they create an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions in line with the way different emission sources are defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. They publicly report our progress against the targets set by the SBTi.
We know we can’t win the fight on our own. But as part of a team, we can make a real impact. That’s why On has joined the CEO4Climate initiative – a group of Swiss businesses that are petitioning the Swiss Government to adopt a progressive climate policy.
CIRCULAR PRODUCT
We are proudly bringing the Cyclon to market this year: our first 100% recyclable performance running shoe. It has been awarded the 2021 ISPO Product of the Year and won a special award for Sustainability Achievements.
The Cyclon running shoe is engineered from two types of high-quality, high-performance polyamides. The upper is engineered from PA11, a bio-based polyamide derived from castor beans. The bottom unit is engineered from an equally high-performance polyamide compound called Pebax. Not only is the Cyclon running shoe majority bio-based, it’s 100% recycled and exceptionally high performance.
