Circulaire collectie -S3- Extremely Safe.

In recent years we have worked really hard to develop safety shoes that are not only safer, but also entirely circular. And we have been successful!

We have managed to develop the world's very first circular safety shoes. This means that they can be entirely recycled and all materials are 100% reused. For example, in furniture, as building material and naturally in new safety shoes.

EMMA’s collection 100% circular!

We did it! The counter is at 100%: all shoes are now 100% circularly produced. What an exciting year it was. We have overcome many obstacles. Now we are happy, because all materials and raw materials that EMMA and its suppliers use in the EMMA shoes have been mapped and registered.And all materials in all EMMA shoes are now safe for the environment and reusable in a subsequent use application. Of course our trip does not stop here. In 2020 we will again take steps in the direction of our positive footprint.

SAFETY FIRST, WHATEVER THE FUTURE HAS IN STORE

EMMA Safety Footwear has been marching ahead in safety shoe development for over 85 years. With the world now changing faster than ever, we have adapted our organisation. This means we can already launch solutions for working conditions in the future. Whatever the future brings, we will ensure that you and your colleagues can walk around safely. We work really hard each day to make safety shoes even better. Safer and more comfortable. More sustainable and in closer contact with our users. A never-ending search for added value.  View the leaflet

EMMA APP : INNOVATION NEVER STOPS

EVERYONE'S OWN EMMA

Every pair of EMMA safety shoes is fitted with a unique QR code. This allows us to link each pair of shoes to the user and this paves the way for new services and flows of information. When users scan the QR code with the special EMMA app they can already see a passport of materials with a summary of all materials that have been used in the shoe. All these materials have been chosen for their durability and environmental safety, and the next application of each material has already been identified. Thoughts about safety and sustainability are therefore combined. Both aspects effectively reinforce each other in the continued search for better safety shoes.

REVERSE LOGISTICS - HOW WE MAKE CIRCULAR WORK FOR YOU

Working with our chain partners we provide a service to take care of the returns logistics ourselves. All raw materials can therefore embark on their new lives and you will be saved any bother.

100% CIRCULAIR SAFETY SHOE

The collection is 100% circular before the end of 2019!
We did it! The counter is at 100%! All shoes have been produced with a circular approach since the end of 2019. This means that all materials and raw
materials used by EMMA and its suppliers in EMMA shoes have been catalogued and registered. And all materials in all EMMA footwear are now safe for the environment according to the criteria set for material health, and the materials can be reused in a next use application. In this regard, we always apply the SCC, principle: Safety first,
then Comfort and then Circularity.

INNOVATION NEVER STOPS

Every pair of EMMA safety shoes is fitted with a unique QR code. This allows us to link each pair of shoes to the user and this paves the way for new services and flows of information.

CIRCULAIR ECONOMY

We not only wish to protect those wearing our shoes, but also the world around us. Our vision is that safety shoes in the future can only be sustainable.

REVERSE LOGISTICS

Together with its chain partners, EMMA Safety Footwear makes sure that the shoes are returned, that the raw materials are registered in a materials database and that the raw materials are reused for new products. Starting in 2019, recycled material will also already be added to the shoes. At present, the inner sole is made of 70% recycled material and the laces are made of used PET bottles, which are recycled after use.

What does circular manufacturing mean to EMMA?

Full circular manufacturing at EMMA Safety Footwear means, among other things:
•Every circular shoe has its own material passport.
•The materials in the shoe have been selected for their long useful life.
•All raw materials are reused.
•A future application is known for every material.
•All shoes are individually identified in order to be able to trace them throughout the chain.
