Footwear ManufacturingIllinois, United States51-200 Employees
Based in Peoria, Illinois, NFW operates a platform focused on circularity for plastic-free performance materials in footwear manufacturing. It promotes a lifecycle approach where materials are designed to enter cycles of reuse and regeneration rather than ending as waste. The process is governed by three guiding principles that emphasize proper initiation, cleanliness, and end-of-use recycling. The platform serves fashion and footwear, automotive, and upholstery, with integration into existing supply chains. It collaborates with global brands to design and scale plastic-free, high-performance materials, supporting a shift toward a post-oil economy.
