Primal Fløps
Primal Fløps - the first biodegradable flip flops
Primal Fløps are premium, Italian-designed flip flops made from high-performance biopolymers for hospitality and consumers. They are special because of their one-piece, mono-material construction, offering cloud-like comfort and grip. As the world's first fully biodegradable flip flop (ISO and DIN certified), they are designed to return safely to nature, preventing plastic waste and microplastics. They are part of a circular system with a take-back program.
