Lets GO GREEN with BioMogo~ |
Brooks’ BioMoGo is the world’s first fully biodegradable midsole foam for footwear. Traditional Ethylene Vinyl Acetate™ [EVA] midsoles can last up to 1,000 years in a landfill. Once a pair of Brooks shoes with BioMoGo hits an active enclosed landfill, the BioMoGo midsole is converted by common soil microbes into useful humus and nutrients 50 times faster.
BioMoGo works by enhancing the biodegradation of the midsole once it enters an active enclosed landfill. As soon as the midsole encounters the "triple convergence" of high microbial load, low oxygen, and adequate moisture, it begins to break down into its component nutrients. This makes the carbon that was locked up in the original petroleum available for plants and animals to use for growth.
