VERGER: OUR FIRST ECO-FRIENDLY SAFETY SHOE

Simpler, more hard-wearing, more eco-friendly without ever compromising on comfort or safety... This was the challenge for our first eco-friendly safety shoe: VERGER.

VERGER’s main material is recycled polyester, made in Spain and certified. It is breathable to help wick away moisture. What's more, the shoes feature upcycled leather inserts, i.e. made from production offcuts from our manufacturing plant in Maine-et-Loire and from our subcontractors. The laces (made in France), lining and insole (made in Spain) are made from recycled materials. Finally, the sole is injected in France. With VPS SYSTEM technology, the VERGER shoe offers good arch support to reduce premature fatigue and provide everyday comfort, particularly in prolonged standing positions.

VERGER is an eco-friendly shoe that:

- reuses materials

- uses the shortest possible circuit (France and the Mediterranean region)

- respects the men and women who make your safety shoes

We need to invent and reinvent how we live and for that, we need you. Shake up the manufacturing and life cycle of your safety shoes. Simply do better, together.

CLOTHES COLLECTION

After our first eco-friendly safety shoe, we are extending the range with a collection of clothes in recycled cotton and polyester made with a short production cycle in the Mediterranean area.

The collection consists of t-shirts and sweatshirts with a unisex cut for all items, ranging from XS to XXXL. They can be worn in all sectors: logistics, construction, retail, distribution and industry.

These clothes are 100% recycled, made from 50% recycled cotton and 50% recycled polyester.

What's more, thanks to their resistance to wear and tear the entire eco-friendly range is made up of long-lasting products so they have less environmental impact than a non-recycled version.

All these clothes are ECOTEC-certified.

ECOTEC is a process that creates new yarns by recycling fabric offcuts, used clothes and plastic bottles. This process is an example of the circular economy.

These clothes are also OEKO-TEX® certified. This international certification guarantees that no harmful substances are used in the various stages of processing our products.

The entire range is GRS-certified. These certificates guarantee the recycled content in compliance with environmental and social standards.
