Clean Foam Recycling & Resource Recovery | Giving foam a second life and reducing waste.
At Foamco, we believe foam offcuts shouldn't automatically be viewed as waste.
Through our manufacturing and conversion operations, we generate clean polyurethane foam offcuts that can be collected, sorted, processed and redirected into a range of secondary applications.
From crumbed foam and rebonded underlay to acoustic products, packaging and emerging composite materials, we're continually looking for new ways to turn foam offcuts into useful resources.
Our goal is simple: reduce waste, create value and find better uses for foam beyond its first application.
Crumbed Foam
Clean polyurethane foam offcuts can be processed into crumb or shredded foam, creating a versatile material suitable for a variety of secondary applications.
-
Lightweight and malliable comfort for pillows, pet beds, traditional bean bags.
-
crumbed foam can be used in cushioning, filling, packaging, protective products and as a feedstock for rebonded foam products.
-
Foamco can work with customers and recycling partners requiring ongoing volumes of foam crumb or material suitable for further processing.
Rebonded Foam & Flooring Underlay
One of the most established recycling pathways for flexible polyurethane foam is rebonding.
Foam offcuts are shredded into smaller particles before being bonded and compressed together to create a durable, high-density material.
-
We partner with national foam re-bonding plants who work with multiple manufacturers across flooring and building sectors.
-
In Sports, we use re-bonded foam for impact absorption, gym and exercise mats, protective padding
-
Also heavily used in packaging and acoustic products.
Acoustic Apllications
Its open-cell structure and ability to be manufactured at different densities and thicknesses can make PU and re-bonded foam suitable for absorbing and controlling sound.
-
Acoustic wall and ceiling panels
-
HVAC, automotive and transport applications
-
Industrial noise-control products
Building & Construction Suitability
Recycled foam also has potential across a range of building and construction applications where cushioning, isolation, compression or acoustic performance is required.
-
Acoustic insulation / Vibration isolation pads
-
Machinery and HVAC isolation
-
Compressible joint fillers
-
Flooring systems / Impact absorption layers
-
Protective padding
-
Construction packaging and protection
