The Vita Group is delighted to be exhibiting at and a lead sponsor of the Furniture Component Expo, being held at Telford’s International Centre from 24-25 April. At the show Vita will be showcasing its Orbis collection of more sustainable flexible polyurethane foams, made from recycled materials, which are reshaping the landscape of high-performance and eco-conscious furniture solutions.
The Vita Group will be exhibiting on stand 62.
Orbis is Europe’s first flexible PU foam manufactured in part with recycled raw materials, sourced from post-consumer foam mattresses. This breakthrough innovation doesn’t just represent a step forward; it signals a shift towards circular economy practices. By transforming post-consumer foam into Orbis, the group effectively mitigates the need to send to landfill or incineration. This strategic move leads to reductions in carbon footprint, utilising waste as a valuable resource, while retaining the quality, durability, and comfort inherent in traditional flexible PU foam mattresses, and also expands the life cycle of the foam, causing less reliance on the virgin raw materials.
At the core of The Vita Group’s mission is a resolute commitment to fostering sustainability on a global scale. Its partnership with industry giants such as Dow, Evonik and Covestro amplifies its efforts to propel the industry towards a net-zero future.
The Vita Group’s dedication is a substantiated reality:
The Vita Group was the first flexible polyurethane manufacturer globally to have its emission reduction targets validated by independent climate scientists through the esteemed Science Based Target initiative (SBTi);
The group has a Gold Sustainability Rating from EcoVadis, a globally trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. This accolade positions The Vita Group amongst the top 3% of evaluated entities worldwide;
and the group is a proud signatory of the UN Global Compact and Race to Zero initiatives, solidifying its allegiance to shaping a sustainable future.
Vita’s dedication to innovation and sustainability extends beyond its products, embracing transformative partnerships and affiliations. This commitment aligns with its overarching mission: to drive positive change in the furniture industry while leaving a lighter environmental footprint.
