Mark Nikolich, Braskem America CEO commented, "As the largest polyolefins producer in the Americas, Braskem is focused on partnering with clients that share our commitment to advancing the manufacture of more sustainable products with our I'm green^TM portfolio of eco-friendly materials. Our relationship with Dansko exemplifies this, as they introduce their new Kane clog which is made from over 50% Braskem's I'm green^TM bio-based EVA. I'm green ^TM offers the same features of a conventional resin, such as flexibility, lightness and resistance, while helping support renewably sourced materials and reducing carbon emissions in the fight against global warming."

Dansko's new "Kane" footwear offers consumers a new lightweight clog that is perfect for everyday wear. The Kane clog is the first Dansko product to be made with over 50% of Braskem's carbon negative I'm green^TM   bio-based EVA. This new clog provides excellent shock absorption and features a removable foot bed, which incorporates Dansko Natural Arch® technology for added support. The new spring 2021 casual shoe is eye-catching and durable as well as being lightweight and comfortable. The channeled outsole provides both durability and long-lasting wear. The Kane is easy to clean and the uppers are perforated for ventilation, making them the perfect shoes for indoor and outdoor summer activities.
