A New Collaborative Material

Steamboat Springs, CO | TBD 2021 — In the past year, Dynamic Foam and BLOOM™ have teamed up to create a high-performance EVA using bio-based algae and post-consumer recycled EVA content.  There are several formulations available in sheet or finished component form.

Originally developed for footwear, Recycled + BLOOM™ has a wide range of applications including automobiles, luggage, insulation and more.

“Sustainability initiatives continue to be a priority for footwear and other consumer goods brands.  Previously companies would have to choose between bio and post-consumer recycled material, so we developed a material using both.”  -Katie O’Hara, Director of Account Management, Dynamic Foam.

“BLOOM™ materials use algae to clean water, reduce CO2 emissions and replace plastics in consumer products. Combining our impact-focused BLOOM™ materials with post-consumer recycled materials from Dynamic Foam allow us to offer foams that can achieve a high level of performance while also communicating the Eco Fact benefits in a relatable way.” – Ryan Hunt, Co-Founder & CTO, Bloom.

Dynamic Foam is a Colorado based footwear and materials company that has developed the iON Element™ post-consumer recycled line of materials.  These are derived from a single-source recycling/repurposing program utilizing EVA film originally used to cover greenhouses.  Over 1.9 million kgs have been saved from landfills to date.

BLOOM™ is a sustainable materials manufacturer based in Mississippi. All materials are third-party verified and backed by a peer-reviewed life cycle analysis that guarantees your product will be verifiably better for the environment. Join the movement for environmental restoration. Over 1 billion liters of water have been cleaned to date.
