Exciting News: Introducing “CONICA Made with Nike Grind”
23. January 2025
We are thrilled to announce the launch of “CONICA Made with Nike Grind”, marking a significant milestone in sustainable sports surfaces. This innovative solution incorporates Nike Grind, a material derived from recycled rubber granules from end-of-life Nike shoes, showcasing our commitment to sustainability, performance, and quality.
What is Nike Grind?
Launched in 1992, Nike Grind began as a grassroots initiative and has since evolved into a global sustainability program. By transforming discarded shoes into high-quality recycled materials—such as rubber, foam, fiber, and leather—Nike Grind is used in a variety of applications, including sports surfaces, furniture, and Nike’s own footwear and apparel.
CONICA Products Featuring Nike Grind
Starting February 2025, CONICA will introduce two versatile systems incorporating Nike Grind materials, marking a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainable innovation. Both CONIPUR EPDM and CONIPUR 2S utilize Nike Grind rubber sourced from end-of-life shoes, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy.
CONIPUR EPDM features a single-layer system that includes at least 25% Nike Grind rubber, providing exceptional durability and performance. In CONIPUR 2S, the 25% Nike Grind rubber is thoughtfully integrated into the top layer, ensuring peak performance and a sustainable solution.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to expanding the use of Nike Grind materials to additional layers and systems, further advancing our efforts to innovate responsibly and protect the environment.
With these groundbreaking developments, CONICA continues to set the standard for high-quality, sustainable flooring solutions.
