Six steps towards a more
sustainable future

14. ■ DMF residues left in fabrics after coagulation
■ Residual DMF attacks PU coating
- Reduces hydraulic resistance of fabric
- Typical smell occurs and remains.
■ DMF is toxic and marked as restricted substance

20. ■ The need for sustainable
solutions is increasing and will
increase more. It’s time to
change!
■ We have the freedom to set up
more sustainable and high
performing materials for the
shoe industry
■ Some solutions are already in
the shelf other can be
customized
■ We offer to develop and create
these solutions together with
the supply chain
