How foam is given an upgraded second life
Let us take you through our process of recycle - reuse – remake
Where does recycled foam come from?
We source prime pre-consumer polyurethane trim and post-consumer materials from select suppliers all over Europe. Our in-house team procures prime pre-consumer polyurethane trim from high-end foam manufacturers and converters, and post-consumer materials by sourcing recycled mattresses and seats from specialist companies.
The majority of our raw material is recycled and used for rebond foam manufacturing, with the rest being traded or sold internationally to different industries.
How is rebond foam made?
-
Purchasing
Polyurethane trim foam is purchased, baled by the supplier and shipped to our manufacturing facility.
-
Shredding
Large pieces of trim foam are crushed into smaller pieces. The pieces of shredded irregular foam are then converted to homogeneous particles.
-
Production
Particles are weighed for the desired density. Once the desired density is achieved, the particles are mixed and become dispersed, a binder and additives will be added, then finally they will be compressed to form a foam block structure.
-
Block to Sheet Processing
The blocks are dried and undergo a curing process. They can remain in raw state or be clean cut at a specific size in length and width. Furthermore, they can be split into sheets in a thickness requested by the customer. The blocks or sheets are packed and prepped for outbound transport by truck or container to the customer’s location.
