Materials
Our products are made with the best materials and top quality raw materials and bear the FSC Forest Stewardship Council label.
Our natural certificates
Lotoplant has been working with nothing but the finest materials since 1989. At our factory we prioritise the use of manufacturing materials that respect both people and the environment.
Our production is therefore based on the use of cork and rubber. The biodegradation of these materials is considerably faster than, for example, plastic as a manufacturing element.
The insole components we manufacture have the following hallmarks:
Natural jute
Jute decomposes to 46.5% in 32 days, and approximately 100% in 2 months.
LOW-IMPACT MATERIALS
Guaranteed use of sustainable materials, taking care of both human beings and the natural environment. Our Lotoplant anatomical insoles made of cork and rubber feature comfort and high durability: this is the eco-sustainable commitment of our brand.
natural cork
Cork-rubber decomposes by 8.2% in 32 days and would take approximately one year to fully biodegrade.

Recycled materials, plant fabrics
We use all kinds of natural and recycled materials. We manufacture vegan insoles, with medicinal herbs and with scents.
Cites Convention
No skin belonging to protected species covered by the Washington Convention (CITES) is involved in our templates.
We have the FSC seal of Forest Management Certification.
At Lotoplant we are very aware of the environment, which is why, from the beginning, we wanted to have appropriate forest management. We work with natural materials and our objective is to guarantee that the use of wood and other raw materials contributes to maintaining good ecological processes. The FSC Forest Management Certification seal guarantees that we do.
Our anatomical insoles are made with high-quality materials for lightness, flexibility, and durability, but we also want those materials to have been properly treated.
We comply with the REACH Regulation on chemical substances of concern.
The REACH Regulation entered into force in 2007 and its purpose has always been to improve protection against the risk that human health and the environment may face due to the manufacture, sale and use of chemical substances and mixtures.
In our company we can demonstrate that all our insoles are made safely, free of dangerous chemical substances. We maintain environmental integrity and guarantee the high level of protection of our workers. Something we are very proud of.
We have suppliers free of substances included in the MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List)
The MRSL translates to the Manufacturing Restricted Substance List. A list that collects the dangerous chemicals that are prohibited in any manufacturing process. None of them should be present even in the finished product. In this way, real security is guaranteed both for manufacturers and for the final consumer.Desde Lotoplant trabajamos con proveedores que cumplen con estas medidas de seguridad. Nuestras plantillas anatómicas tienen una cadena de producción altamente segura. Protegemos nuestra marca y todo lo que esta engloba.
Our skins do not belong to protected species covered by the Washington Convention (CITES)(CITES)
CITES is an agreement between governments that is intended to protect the survival of wild animal and plant species from overexploitation. Did you know that international trade involving countless animal and plant specimens already amounts to billions of dollars? Therefore, the need for this agreement is essential.
Any skin that is included in this list is never used or will ever be used in our templates. Our raw materials are renewable and respectful of the environment that surrounds them.
