Salomon chooses FENC’s midsole rPET 'breakthrough'
06/10/2025
Taiwanese performance materials-maker Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC) has launched what it claims is the first midsole material made from post-consumer PET bottles.
The thermoplastic polyester elastomer (rTPEE) combines environmental benefits with elasticity, cushioning and rebound, and has been used by French outdoor sports brand Salomon for its Solamphibian amphibious shoes.
