A BETTER WORLD, STARTING FROM FOOTWEAR
Gommus solved the problem.
The Go!Zero brand includes 4 different ways of reducing or eliminating waste generation.
The rubber disintegrates in the environment at the end of the cycle and does not generate harmful residues
A new type of rubber, with a minimum of 25% recycled material
The gum returns virgin to be reprinted as new
Recovery of inert powder waste, reinserted into new soles
BIODEGRADABLE RUBBER
The Go!Zero Return Rubber is a special rubber compound which, thanks to an enzyme inside it, degrades almost completely once thrown away.
During use, the sole remains intact: it is in fact the bacterial environment of the landfill that makes it possible to activate the degradation process.
From that moment on, the material begins to deteriorate, until it almost disappears after 180 days.
Biodegradability of waste
Total absence of phytotoxicity
Almost zero environmental impact
Available in the full range of rubber colour card
Very low production of processing residues
Energy savings and less emissions during the production process
Possibility of recycling also the sole at the end of its life cycle
Available colours black, brown and ivory*
* It is possible to agree on other colours for dedicated projects.
RUBBER
MSXRN recycled sole
A climate footprint transparently measured.
We have also calculated the Product Carbon Footprint for the new rubber outsole (MSXRN) from the GO!ZERO RECYCLE line, that is, the equivalent total amount of CO₂ generated by the outsole from the extraction of the raw materials until it leaves our factory.
This is an analysis based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), methodology, conducted according to international standards:
- UNI EN ISO 14040 e 14044 for LCA methodology;
- UNI EN ISO 14067 for the calculation of the Carbon Footprint.
The boundaries of the study are cradle-to-gate, encompassing both the upstream stages of the production process (sourcing and processing of raw materials) and Gommus internal processes, all the way up to the finished product ready for shipment.
This analysis, conducted according to the criteria of the PCR 2021:04 – “Rubber Articles for Footwear”, allows us to gain detailed insights into the product’s impact and identify the most effective levers to further reduce it.
Almost 50% recycled materials:
For the new rubber outsole of the GO!ZERO RECYCLE family we have managed to further increase the quantity of recycled materials compared to the Recycle compounds, while maintaining the high-quality standards of the GOMMUS product unchanged.
The new MSXRN outsole is made by almost 50% recycled and certified rubber to further reduce its environmental footprint.
GOMMUS, through its GO! ZERO RECYCLE line, therefore supplies products with a reduced environmental impact thanks to:
- Lower use of virgin raw materials
- Reduced and measured CO₂ emissions thanks to cradle-to-gate LCA analysis
- Reuse of secondary raw materials in its products from a Circular Economy perspective

This analysis, conducted according to the criteria of the PCR 2021:06 – “Rubber Articles for Footwear”, allows us to gain detailed insights into the product’s impact and identify the most effective levers to further reduce it.
Almost 25% recycled materials: real, certified value
One of the most important aspects that characterize GO! ZERO RECYCLE is the use of recycled material in the compound: at least 25% comes from the recovery and reprocessing of waste generated in our own production process.
This means that what was once considered waste today becomes a new resource, without losing quality, resistance or technical performance.
This is not just a simple declaration, the recycled material content is certified by Bureau Veritas according to the UNI EN ISO 14021:2016 standard, which verifies:
- the traceability of waste that is actually recycled,
- the accuracy of the calculation method,
- the compliance of control processes,
- the quality of measurements and monitoring systems.
This is a way to offer customers a real and verifiable guarantee.
GO! ZERO RECYCLE means:
- Lower use of virgin raw materials
- Reduced and measured CO₂ emissions thanks to cradle-to-gate LCA analysis
- Almost 25% recycled material, ISO 14021 certified
- Constant and reliable quality signed Gommus
GO! ZERO RECYCLE demonstrates that even a technical product like an outsole can be sustainably redesigned, without compromising on performance.
La suola è certificata Bureau Veritas ISO 14021.
TR/Tpu
Bale sole
A climate footprint transparently measured.
We have calculated the Product Carbon Footprint for the TPU outsole BALE from the GO!ZERO RECYCLE line, that is, the equivalent total amount of CO₂ generated by the outsole from the extraction of the raw materials until it leaves our factory.
This is an analysis based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), methodology, conducted according to international standards:
- UNI EN ISO 14040 e 14044 for LCA methodology;
- UNI EN ISO 14067 for the calculation of the Carbon Footprint.
The boundaries of the study are cradle-to-gate, encompassing both the upstream stages of the production process (sourcing and processing of raw materials) and Gommus internal processes, all the way up to the finished product ready for shipment.

Almost 97% recycled materials:
The entire GO!ZERO RECYCLE line represents GOMMUS products with a reduced environmental impact, and the TPU outsole is the one with the best performances of the entire range; in fact, it uses practically only 100% recycled and certified Thermoplastic Polyurethane, and, also considering the presence of minimal quantities of additives in the compound, the entire outsole is made by approximately 97% recycled material.
GOMMUS, through its GO! ZERO RECYCLE line, therefore supplies products with a reduced environmental impact thanks to:
- Lower use of virgin raw materials
- Reduced and measured CO₂ emissions thanks to cradle-to-gate LCA analysis
- Reuse of secondary raw materials in its products from a Circular Economy perspective.

almost 30% recycled materials:
The entire GO!ZERO RECYCLE line represents GOMMUS products with a reduced environmental impact, and the ALTAR outsole in Blowtech manages to combine high technical performance in terms of durability and flexibility with a reduced environmental impact. In fact, while maintaining the high performance of the material, we have managed to create a product with almost 30% recycled and certified Blowtech.
GOMMUS, through its GO! ZERO RECYCLE line, therefore supplies products with a reduced environmental impact thanks to:
- Lower use of virgin raw materials
- Reduced and measured CO₂ emissions thanks to cradle-to-gate LCA analysis
- Reuse of secondary raw materials in its products from a Circular Economy perspective
DEVULCANIZED RUBBER
Thanks to Gommus Go!Zero Reverse technology, for the first time it is possible to reverse the vulcanization process, obtaining new raw material from the waste, similar to virgin one.
The recovered material can compose as much as 30% of the new soles.
At the end of processing, the new material is certified to guarantee the origin of the scraps from which it derives.
Exclusive Gommus technology
Prolongation of the life span of the rubber
Reduction of generated waste
Available colours black, dark brown and white colours
Less release of industrial residues in landfills
Available colours black, white, brown or multicolour powder

RUBBER OR BLOWTECH WITH RECOVERY OF INERT SCRAPS
Go!Zero Remade soles are produced with compounds obtained for 20% from residues deriving from the recovery of production waste materials.
In collaboration with specialized partner laboratories, the waste material is processed and reduced to powder before being reused.
At the end of processing, the powder is certified to guarantee the origin of the reused scraps.
