Sustainable Brand
Thanks to their durability, Birkenstock products are sustainable by nature. A high proportion of the natural materials used are from sustainable sources including cork, natural latex, jute, leather, wool felt, copper and brass.
As an example, Natural latex serves as a primary binding agent in the production of their innovative footbed. Like cork, natural latex is also a renewable resource obtained from the resin of rubber trees.
Birkenstock was one of the first shoe manufacturers in the world to use water-soluble and solvent-free adhesives almost exclusively in its production processes. In recent years, Birkenstock have successfully worked to considerably reduce the proportion of adhesives that contain solvents.
