von Holzhausen creates “Ripple shoe” from proprietary renewable material

In California, sustainable material firm von Holzhausen has made a 100% biodegradable and plastic-free shoe from Liquidplant™, a polyurethane-like material developed in house out of sugar and seeds.

von Holzhausen said the Ripple Shoe “is more than a product. It’s the first case study in a new strategic direction for von Holzhausen. A broader rollout of case studies begins in 2025, showcasing the impact and versatility of Liquidplant™ across industries.”
