Olive — What the olive groves leave us

The olive oil is extracted. What remains is generally overlooked. At Zèta, that is where everything begins. Skins, stones, olive fragments: all these residues, known as pomace, are ground and then transformed into material for shoes.

A by-product turned resource

After grinding, the olive pomace is mixed with a water-based PU. The resulting paste is then tinted with natural pigments, spread onto a thick canvas and heat-set to stabilise its shape.

It is then cut in Istanbul, before being assembled in our workshops. This process helps limit waste, optimise olive by-products, and offer a viable alternative to less responsible materials.

A commitment to material and product

The material is composed of 87% olive and 13% water-based PU.

It is developed under the Oleatex® certification, a benchmark in plant-based alternatives derived from olive groves.

Why use it?

Because it offers a true hold, good resistance to wear, and a visual finish that remains understated.

And because using agricultural residues is a concrete way of producing differently.
