WE INNOVATE FOR A BETTER FUTURE
Creating a sustainable future
THE PROBLEM
During the Covid-19 pandemic, demand for rubber gloves has been huge, but this presents a conundrum for Malaysia’s rubber gloves industry – as production has risen sharply, and so is the level of the gloves waste. Averagely it is estimated that about 100 tonnes of gloves waste are generated monthly. They often end up in landfills or incinerators, releasing toxic gases and heavy metal particles into the atmosphere, causing threats to environment and mankind.
THE solution
We collect these rejected nitrile rubber gloves, upcycled into eco rubber compound and moulded them into as rubber eco soles for sandals and shoes.

WE UPCYCLE FOR A BETTER FUTURE
Rejected nitrile rubber gloves previously discarded as waste in such high quantities, Geomax Rubber re-introduces them into society in the form of value-added eco rubber products. Geomax Rubber transforms these unwanted gloves materials into eco-friendly, sustainable footwear. Our patent pending green technology allows us to create an attractive alternative to traditional rubber – greener and more sustainable. Our brand, Solewell, is a sustainable footwear brand that combines engineering functionality with environmental responsibility.
The rubber qualities are kept intact as well as its strength, flexibility and durability. We have also added a non-slip design to further enhance its superior quality. In addition, it is tested on 30% slope coated with oil and water. Solewell is the world’s first eco sandal made with rejected nitrile rubber gloves, and with an anti slip sole design.
