| ALVEOMESH | Alveomesh is a technical fabric made exclusively from recycled plastic bottles. It brings breathability, softness and lightness to the shoe. |
| SUEDE | Suede is the reverse side of leather that is sanded to give it a soft and supple appearance. It comes from farms in Rio Grande do Sul. It is tanned in Brazil according to REACH standards. The use of water is kept to a minimum during the tanning process. This suede is then coated with two water-repellent oils to protect the trainers from light rain. The tanneries working with VEJA are certified by L.W.G. |
| LEATHER | The leather comes from farms in Rio Grande do Sul. It is tanned in Brazil according to the REACH standards. The use of water is kept to a minimum during the tanning process. The tanneries supplying VEJA leather are L.W.G. certified. Certified 'Gold' by the Leather Working Group, which promotes sustainable practices that have a positive impact on the environment in tanneries. |
| AMAZONIAN RUBBER | Each VEJA sole is made of 20-30% rubber from the Amazon rainforest. Seringueiros (rubber workers) are paid according to the principles of fair trade. The use of this Amazonian rubber increases the economic value of the forest and protects it from deforestation. |
| SOFT LINING | This jersey lining is made of 33% organic cotton and 67% recycled polyester (PET) from recycled plastic bottles. |
| ORGANIC COTTON | The canvas is made of 100% organic-certified cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Cotton is cultivated in Brazil and Peru by associations that respect people and the environment, according to the principles of fair trade. In Brazil, cotton is organic and agro-ecological, an agriculture that enriches the land after it has been cultivated by enhancing the symbiosis of the species that are grown and the water retention in the soil. In Peru, organic cotton farmers are supported in obtaining their certification and have technical and financial support to improve their production. |
