Brooks BioMoGo and Reengineered Shoe Boxes
Brooks has taken the long-lasting cushioning of their original MoGo midsole and made it more environmentally friendly. By introducing a non-toxic, natural additive to the MoGo compound anaerobic microbes break down more quickly in a landfill. While traditional midsoles can last up to 1,000 years in a landfill, Brooks BioMoGo will decompose 50 times faster, biodegrading nutrients into reusable byproducts within 20 years.

The new Brooks show box is printed using a single-color, less energy-intensive flexographic printing process, and water-based inks and adhesives that are cleaner and better on the environment. Brooks also optimized box dimensions for a tighter fit saving 150 tons of paper annually, reduced shoe box tissue by 25%, and moved to chlorine-free tissue that is better for the environment.
