The world’s rapidly growing population is affecting the prosperous development of the footwear manufacturing industry; however, faced with the global massive demand for soles, the procedure of the conventional footwear industry manufacturing is not only cumbersome and lengthy, but also produces a significant amount of greenhouse gases. Based on the principles of sculpturing a future with a friendly environment and low-carbon sustainability, this product carries “multifunctional” and “sustainable” characteristics. Other than significantly shortening the manufacturing time, it further fulfilled zero-carbon emission with a supercritical physical foaming technique while using recyclable and reusable eco-friendly materials to reduce the daily carbon footprint.



The improvement of technology and living standards introduced to the world an explosive increase in the population via the process of globalization, but also worsened the threats of climate change and global warming. In recent years, the concept of zero carbon emission has gradually formed on the international stage, where each nation began to voluntarily stipulate a sustainable goal. With this trend, enterprises inspect their own processes ranging from raw materials, and manufacturing methods to the final products, while also actively attempting to transform to collaborate with professional enterprise partners from different domains to come up with the “Multifunctional Physical Foam Injection System”, as well as developed the brand new brand, GENTREX. This system uses the “supercritical physical foaming technique” to replace the conventional manufacturing process that easily produces greenhouse gas; the brand new technology is suitable for the “zero carbon emissions” production of all parts, with wide applications in popular industries such as footwear, bicycles, as well as vehicles to satisfy the component demands that these industries have towards shock-absorbing, buffering, and comfortable functions. Enterprises are devoted to the appeal of environmental protection, energy-saving, and zero carbon emission, with emphasis first been placed on providing the solution for “net zero revolution” for the footwear manufacturing industry.
