<p>A shoe material is described which allows any waste as a result of cutting shoe reinforcing components from a sheet thereof to be recycled. The reinforcing material may be recycled by granulating, shredding or co-extruding the waste with a virgin composition of reinforcing material to create sheets of new reinforcing material. These sheets of reinforcing material including recycled waste from previous sheets can similarly be press cut to provide shoe reinforcing components. The reinforcing material includes a base component of either polycaprolactone or linear saturated polyester adhesive along with a copolyester adhesive and mineral filler to achieve necessary stiffness after thermoforming of the shoe reinforcing component, i.e. shoe counter or toe puff.</p> |
