Innovative & Upcycled Materials
UPCYCLED PLASTIC
Plastic waste upcycled into components and textiles.
Recovered plastic is transformed into a new material, extending its lifecycle rather than relying solely on newly produced resources.
At Prota Fiori, upcycled plastic is used within the toe puff, an internal structural component that helps give the front of the shoe its form.
Though unseen once the shoe is finished, it reflects an important part of our approach to design: considering not only the materials that define the exterior of a shoe, but also those within its construction.
