Foam producer Vita has claimed a coveted Best of Best award at furniture production technology show Interzum.
The company won one just four Best of the best awards awarded at this year’s event for its Orbis sustainable foam, made in partnership with Dow as part of the Renuva mattress recycling program.
This aims to recycle up to 200,000 mattresses a year in France. The recycled PU foam mattresses are processed through Dow’s in-house technology which converts the foam back into a base raw material that Vita can use in its production of brand new foam for many applications including mattresses, pillows and furniture. The foams produced from this re-polyol will have similar properties to products based on virgin raw materials and will be used in all of the same applications.
It also won a High Product Quality award for its VitaRest Origin pillow, which incorporates castor oil to help achieve a better night’s sleep and is made using bio-polyols.
