Norrøna Announces New Membership with Non-Profit Fair Wear Foundation

OSLO, Norway (April 16, 2024) — Norrøna, the four season, family-owned Norwegian manufacturer of premium apparel and gear, today announced its new membership with non-profit organization Fair Wear Foundation. The Fair Wear membership is a key step toward the sustainability targets outlined in its Norrøna 2029 Roadmap, which aims for the brand being the most responsible outdoor company.

“An important aspect of becoming the most responsible outdoor company is creating a fair, equal and positive workplace environment for all employees, especially those tasked with creating our premium gear in factories around the world,” said Jørgen Jørgensen, leader and fourth-generation owner of Norrøna. “Working with Fair Wear is a critical step to improve the labor conditions in our supply chain, as we continue to grow and enter our next century as a brand leader in sustainable and ethical business practices.”

Siri Luthen, Norrøna’s Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability leader, emphasized the significance of the decision to join Fair Wear, stating, “One crucial reason for our Fair Wear membership is to ensure that workers or their representatives can raise the issue and find solutions if rights are violated. Fair Wear provides a grievance mechanism for workers to voice concerns related to the Fair Wear Code of Labour Practices. We commit to rolling out this safe and accessible mechanism at our production locations to ensure all workers have access to the Fair Wear helpline. This initiative is pivotal in achieving our Roadmap goal of ensuring that 100 percent of workers’ voices are heard.”

Fair Wear equips Norrøna with a range of tools to move from traditional social auditing to effectively manage human rights issues within supply chains. The Brand Performance Check will assess and evaluate Norrøna’s practices, providing constructive feedback to enhance our supply chain integrity. This aspect of membership underscores Fair Wear’s dedication not only to improving factory conditions but also to scrutinizing brand practices. Furthermore, Fair Wear offers third-party factory audits, comprehensive training programs, and grants access to expert research and tools from non-profit organizations and likeminded garment brands.”

“We are excited to welcome Norrøna as a Fair Wear member and look forward to working together on systemic change in the outdoor industry. Norrøna’s commitment to conduct proper human rights due diligence and scrutinize their brand practices lays the foundation for impactful transformation,” says Mariette van Amstel, Fair Wear’s Head of Membership.

Fair Wear was founded in 1999 with the mission of improving labor conditions in the garment industry by bridging the gap between stakeholders and aligning on creating people-and planet-positive practices for the garment sector. The organization works with brands, factories, workers, trade unions, NGOs and other industry influencers to develop practical solutions to improve working conditions across supply chains.

Norrøna’s partnership with Fair Wear is effective immediately as the brand has signed the Fair Wear Code of Labour Practices.

IMBOX Protection, Global Footwear Protection Leader, Accelerates U.S. Growth for 2024 Building on Success in 33 Countries Performing 150 Million Treatments to Date

DENMARK (Apr. 16, 2024)IMBOX Protection, the world’s only in-store footwear protection technology, is prioritizing U.S. growth as part of its global expansion plans for 2024 building on its success in 33 countries and reaching a milestone of performing 150 million treatments since the company’s founding. IMBOX Protection treatments provide weather and stain-resistant applications maintaining shoe appearance, durability, and performance. In the U.S., IMBOX Protection can now be found nationwide from Los Angeles to New York City with retail partners including Dillard’s, Scheels, and SNIPES and through a pilot program with Famous Footwear. IMBOX Protection’s patented technology is an eco-friendly solution for consumers and retailers eliminating single-use cans. The shoe protection treatment takes one minute and costs between $7.00 -$8.00 per treatment.

“IMBOX Protection is becoming a must-have service for footwear retailers in the United States, and we are capitalizing on this growing demand as American consumers seek to protect their shoe purchases,” said Oliver Hede, vice president of North American sales. “With the increased return to in-store shopping, driven by influential Gen-Z shoppers, demand for our technology by retailers and consumers is surging.”

IMBOX Protection systems in the U.S. dispense a proprietary PFA-free, water-based formula through a modern box located in the footwear department of retailers. The treatment offers best-in-class protection from outside elements in one minute. Exclusive technology guarantees precise application, drying, and heating tailored to the specific needs of each shoe and protects suede, leather, textile, nubuck, and synthetic components, among others. After the treatment is completed in-store, shoes are ready for immediate wear.

“IMBOX Protection elevates shopping experiences for consumers while increasing the frequency and duration of in-store shopping trips for the retailer’s benefit,” says Martin Kolloch, general merchandise manager at SNIPES. “The IMBOX system meets top consumer priorities by prolonging the performance and durability of footwear and, at the same time, improving customer satisfaction.”

“We’ve seen IMBOX Protection become the trusted footwear protection brand of Europe and Asia, for more than a decade, so to see U.S. retail members embrace this offering is a strong sign of progress and innovation,” says Andy Polk, senior vice president at Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA). “IMBOX systems evolve the in-store experience by enhancing merchandising efforts bringing more value to customer engagement and by creating a deeper customer interaction.”

As more retailers prioritize sustainable solutions, components, and practices, IMBOX Protection’s PFA-free formula reduces environmental impact. IMBOX Protection holds CE (Conformité Européenne/European Conformity) and UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certifications, signifying compliance with safety and environmental standards mandated for the European market (CE) and more broadly for overall safety in the U.S. (UL).  IMBOX Protection also holds RSL’s (Restricted Substances List) Approvals, which serve as third-party confirmation of the absence of restricted substances in their products.The Restricted Substance List (RSL) has been meticulously designed to offer apparel and footwear companies comprehensive information concerning regulations and laws that govern the use of specific chemicals and substances in finished home textile, apparel, and footwear products globally.

About IMBOX Protection Inc.
Launched in 2011 in Denmark as a more sustainable and convenient alternative to protecting shoes, IMBOX Protection is the world’s only in-store footwear protection technology service using a safe and environmentally friendly treatment to protect against water damage, dirt, stains, and color fade. IMBOX Protection has more than 7,500 units in retail stores globally selling more than 35 million treatments a year with trusted footwear retailers and partners. Based on surging demand in Europe and Japan, IMBOX Protection has expanded availability in the U.S. with a North American headquarters in Chicago.

Salsa Cycles Showcases eBike Collection at the 2024 Sea Otter Classic

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. [April 16, 2024]Salsa Cycles, manufacturer of industry-leading gravel and mountain bikes, will be attending the 2024 Sea Otter Classic with its new lineup of eBikes. After announcing the collection last month with the launch of the eGravel bikes into retailers, Salsa is excited to announce the full specifications for the new eMTBs arriving in retailers now and throughout the spring.

“The Notch and Moraine leverage best-in-class drive systems, Split Pivot and Salsa’s suspension design philosophy to create distinctly different rider experiences that are authentic to the Salsa brand and competitive in both the Full Power and Light eMTB spaces,” says Joe Meiser, Salsa Cycles Category Manager.

The Notch, Salsa’s new electric enduro bike, will be on display at Sea Otter. With geometry poised for stability at speed, this eMTB features efficient Split Pivot suspension and ample on-bike storage. The top-spec, Notch Deore 12, incorporates the new 170mm RockShox Domain Gold RC fork paired with the Fox Float X Performance shock and Shimano Deore drivetrain. Utilizing the BOSCH Performance Line CX drive system with 85 Nm torque and 20 mph assist, the Notch is a class 1 eBike. This eBike is a powerhouse on enduro trails as well as exploring new singletrack. The Notch has two models starting at $4,999 and are in retailers now and throughout the spring.

“Notch has opened up 5, 6, 7,000+ vertical feet routes here in the Pacific Northwest. Rides that used to only be achievable a couple times a year or maybe only existed as an idea are now monthly and weekly occurrences,” says Sam Berkland, Salsa Cycles Product Manager on his experience riding the Notch. “The BOSCH Performance Line CX’s power delivery and trail mannerisms are incredible. The support makes big routes more attainable and my riding is progressing because I’m more fresh on the descents. In a 180mm rear wheel travel and 190mm fork configuration that Split Pivot + provides; dare I say this is my favorite Salsa bike?”

Also on display for the first time is the lightweight and all-mountain trail eMTB, the Moraine. With progressive trail geometry, versatile Split Pivot suspension and on-bike storage, the Moraine is made for fun flowy trails all day long. Featuring the compact Fazua Ride 60 class 1 mid-drive motor for assistance, new 160mm RockShox Psylo Gold RC fork, Fox Float X Performance shock and Shimano Deore 1 x 12 drivetrain. This eMTB is designed to be an all-around trail mountain bike that’s ideal for daily hot laps, park sessions and adventure singletrack. The Moraine offers two models and starts at $4,999 and will be available at retailers later this spring.

“Moraine’s Fazua Ride 60 drive system offers an awesome amount of support for such a light eBike. The team has complemented that with handling geometry that makes the bike agile and on-bike storage that allows for carrying of all the ride essentials on the bike,” says Ethan Frey Salsa Cycles Product Manager on his experience so far with the Moraine. “This has allowed me to grab the bike after a day of work, fill my water bottle and cover more of my local trails here in New Hampshire.”

Salsa will also be showing its two new eGravel bikes the Confluence and Tributary at Sea Otter. This collection is accessible for new riders looking for new challenges or experienced riders who want more from their rides.

The Confluence is made to explore gravel roads, be comfortable on mixed surface rides and bikepacking excursions. Featuring a light 6061-T6 aluminum frame with mounts for a full range of accessories, carbon fork and runs on MAHLE’s X35+ Class 1 hub-drive system with a 40Nm motor and 250Wh MAHLE i250 Inner Tube internal battery. With a flat-bar or drop-bar model, they are designed with an inclusive fit with low standover that accommodates a wider range of bodies, abilities and fit preferences. The Confluence is in local retailers now and starts at $2,499.

The Tributary is built for rough doubletrack dirt roads and deep adventures featuring a progressive geometry, wide drop bars, massive tire clearance and the ability to accessorize with racks and bags. The rigid or suspension models are built around Bosch’s Performance Line Speed, Class 3, mid-drive system, delivering 85Nm of torque and a 625Wh Bosch PowerTube 625 battery. The Tributary is available in Salsa retailers now starting at $5,499.

At Sea Otter, Salsa will also be showing the new EXP-R and EXP Series of bike bags. The new EXP collection includes an updated Saguaro Seat Bag that is quick-loading and waterproof, the redesigned Agave Pannier built for safe storage and the Cholla Half-Frame Bag now updated to fit a wider range of frames.

OrthoLite Subsidiary Cirql™ Launches Fully Recyclable Cirql rTPU30 Midsole Innovation Made with 30% Recycled TPU for the Global Footwear Industry

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (April 15, 2024)OrthoLite®, the global leader of comfort and performance footwear insoles and the company behind Cirql™, a sustainable materials solutions provider for the global footwear industry, today unveils a new midsole foam called Cirql rTPU30. This brand new patented innovation is made with 30-percent post-consumer recycled TPU material and manufactured through a chemical-free, supercritical foaming process. With 16 granted patents and additional patents pending worldwide for its 30% recycled injection foam, Cirql rTPU30 is a scalable and fully recyclable midsole solution that helps footwear brands to reach their climate and sustainability product goals.

As an industry, footwear continues to operate through what will be nothing short of an historic year of regulatory compliance and legislation defining parameters of sustainable footwear and curbing greenwashing.

Cirql’s rTPU30 meets 2024 compliance standards by incorporating 30-percent GRS-certified, post-consumer recycled TPU materials directly into the foam using a patented technique exclusive to Cirql’s chemical-free supercritical injection foaming process.

“Our goal is to exceed the expectations of footwear developers searching for advanced, sustainable footwear materials designed with consideration for their end-of-life,” said Glenn Barrett, founder and CEO of OrthoLite. “OrthoLite is proud to meet the staggering demand from our 550+ brand partners for more trusted solutions with Cirql rTPU30.”

In March 2022, OrthoLite first introduced Cirql to the footwear industry. Two years later, the company is expanding Cirql’s product offerings with new sustainable materials solutions. Fully recyclable Cirql rTPU30, along with the fully biodegradable and compostable range of products, round out the Cirql materials solutions for addressing product end of life cycles.

The Cirql rTPU30 material has been tested by third-party labs and passes the essential tests for midsole specs. Cirql rTPU30 will be offered with the option of a co-molded TPU outsole which will remove the current bonding process and make it a glueless, single material bottom unit. Alternatively, Cirql’s midsole foam innovations can also be conventionally bonded to all outsoles on the market today.

To offer further protection and transparency, Cirql recyclable injection foam currently has 29 patents filed worldwide. Of those patents, 16 are granted and in effect, with more on the way. Along with verifications like Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification, patents provide an added layer of confidence that the OrthoLite supply chain is delivering precisely what it claims.

“Cirql represents not only an entirely new product and patented foaming process for OrthoLite, it also is an opportunity to minimize waste and pollution on a wide scale across all footwear,” said Matt Thwaites, Vice President and General Manager of Cirql. “The big picture goal of Cirql is to help move the footwear industry toward true circularity, by reducing carbon footprints, delivering more sustainable materials solutions, and eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals in the manufacturing process. We are excited for the future of footwear as well as the upcoming announcements that will continue to come from Cirql this year.”

Cirql rTPU30 will be available to footwear brands in Q2 2024. “We know this is an excellent midsole product, and we are ready if brands choose to fast-track it into their product lines before the end of this year,” Thwaites added.

For additional information on OrthoLite and Cirql, please visit ortholite.com.
