Arkema Supplies Elastomeric Resins for Carbon-Printed Vivobarefoot VivoBiome Tabi Gen 02 Sandal

Arkema is supplying the elastomeric resins used to 3D print Vivobarefoot's VivoBiome Tabi Gen 02 sandal on Carbon's platform, highlighting the longtime Arkema-Carbon partnership. The material falls under foam replacement, one of three pillars Carbon CEO Phil DeSimone cites for the company's business model. Arkema's 3D printing approach prioritizes circular economics, aligning with Vivobarefoot's circularity aims amid elevated plastic resin prices.
