PUFOOTCO2 aims to develop environmentally friendly polyurethane elastomers for footwear that resist hydrolysis and do not rely on fossil fuels. The project seeks to utilize carbon dioxide as a raw material for sustainable production.
Most hiking boots or sport shoes include a polyurethane outsole (elastomer) due to its lightness and higher damping properties compared with rubber.
However, a major problem is its poor resistance to hydrolysis, which implies a degradation of the material and the appearance of cracks, when stored for a long time under certain temperature/humidity conditions without being used, thus crumbling completely.
Moreover, the current production of polyurethanes is entirely dependent on fossil fuels, impl…
