Timberland unveils first full circular shoe and expands take-back programme

Timberland has unveiled the Timberloop Trekker City Hiker, the brand's first footwear designed for full circularity, alongside the news that it is expanding its product take-back programme, which launched in the US earlier this year to include markets in Europe.

New for spring/summer 2022, the Timberloop Trekker City Hiker has been designed with a unique sole construction that means the outsole can be easily removed and disassembled for recycling at the Timberloop take-back facility. In addition, the shoe also has a removable inner bootie made of 100 percent recycled plastic ReBotl fabric, which is integrated into the shoe through the lacing system for easy disassembly and recycling.
