Plasticana reduces the use of petroleum by using renewable carbon derived from photosynthesis: HEMP,
A blend of PVC and natural fibers, Plasticana is 100% recyclable, to infinity and beyond,
No dyes, this is the natural color of the fiber; each pair is different and unique.
PLASTICANA®:
FROM PHOTOSYNTHESIS : Plasticana is committed to reducing the use of petroleum by using renewable carbon derived from photosynthesis: HEMP. This plant was chosen because:
- it grows at all latitudes.
- it captures as much or more carbon in 4 months of growth as a forest in our temperate countries does in 12 months!!
- the strength of its textile component reinforces the plastic in which it is blended,
- the sugars it contains naturally color the material a caramel tone, which avoids the use of chemical pigments.
- Each piece has a unique color.
TO SYNTHETIC MATERIAL : Plasticana only accepts the use of recyclable (or recycled) plastics in the blend with fiber-reduced hemp. Among these, vinyl families that have a lower dependency on petroleum are preferred (57% derived from salt, and the remaining 43% of ethylene could be made from sugar-based plants like beets in the future).
TO RE-SOURCING SYNTHETICS : Plasticana products can go through existing processes for their recycling.
Once returned to granules, they can be given a new life cycle in a new form,
They all have the same destiny: to be able to become a material for future generations once again!
Andre Ravachol : Founder of the Plasticana brand in 1998, André Ravachol fights for the union of the technological heritages of the plastics and hemp-growing industries.
A creator of eco-materials, he collaborates with the Humeau-Baupreau group (manufacturer of MEDUSE sandals), which has been manufacturing Plasticana shoes since 2008.

Their various formulations comply with the European REACH program.
Their production sites are managed under the ISO 14001 environmental standard and are located in France, as are the hemp fields used for the industry...
