Open cell foam technology developer OrthoLite has announced a new exclusive partnership with biodegradable and compostable bioplastics developer Novamont.

It will work with Italy-based Novamont to create marterial for Cirql initiative. OrthoLite launched Cirql a year ago, calling it the first chemicals-free, plant-based foam for use in footwear manufacturing and saying it would help to put the athletic footwear industry on the road to a circular, sustainable future.
It now has a dedicated Cirql division of the business, based in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
