Orbis™ Foam from Vita Group – Contributing to a More Sustainable Support Surface

What is Orbis Foam?

Orbis is a collection of sustainable polyurethane foams made from Renuva™ polyols that are sourced from recycled post-consumer foam mattresses. Orbis foam is Europe’s first flexible polyurethane foam made with recycled raw materials.

What are Renuva™ Polyols?

Polyurethane foam are primarily made from two raw materials, polyols and diisocyanates. The Renuva™ Mattress Recycling Programme aims to recycle up to 200,000 post-consumer mattress per year in France in order to not only help address the problem of waste landfilling and incineration, but create a more circular solution in the manufacturing of polyurethane foam.

Through a collaboration with Eco-Mobilier and Dow, there is now a steady supply of post-consumer polyurethane mattresses being delivered for chemical recycling. The recycled polyurethane foam is processed using H&S technology which converts the foam back into a base raw material that Vita Group can use to produce brand new foam, Orbis™.
