Introducing ALDO CleanStep™ Technology

We care about the footprint we leave - which is why, as a part of our commitment to the planet, we have innovated a new, exclusive technology to create sustainable soles that helps clean and filter polluted water.

But how does it work? Let us break it down:

Step 1: Harvesting Algae Biomass

When harvested, water containing algae is filtered and safely released back into the environment, providing clean water for fish and other wildlife.

Step 2: Drying the Algae Flakes

Once the algae biomass has been harvested, it is sundried, creating a firm material known as “dried algae flakes.”

Step 3: Grinding the Algae Powder

When dry, the algae flakes are ground into a fine powder.

Step 4: Creating CleanStep™

The algae powder is mixed with a substance called Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR), which is used to create a sustainable rubber-like material (go figure).
