When Crocs first came into being, I had already owned a prototype pair of foam-injected slides from Italy. I thought they were the best invention since sliced cheese, until the soles wore out. Crocs were never my look, but the idea of a compostable, injectable foamy plastic is. Enter Balena.

They have worked with a number of fashion brands, as we point out here, and now Stella McCartney.

Their compostable, recyclable, and biobased material embodies the shared vision between Balena and Stella McCartney: a future where innovation meets circularity to create truly sustainable design.

This collaboration is a milestone for Balena and for the future of materials.

“It’s proof of how far we’ve come and how much further we can go together,” says Balena founder David Roubach:

“When I started Balena, one of my dreams was to collaborate with Stella McCartney—a true pioneer in sustainable fashion. Today, I’m proud to share that this dream has become a reality. Our groundbreaking material, BioCir® Flex, is now featured in Stella McCartney’s S-Wave Sport trainers, part of her Autumn 2025 collection.
