Polyethylene foam is a material that has different densities, depending on the need.
It is a flexible material that retains its properties even at extremely low temperatures.
It is resistant to mechanical damage, and is impervious to moisture and water. It is used to secure goods and is increasingly used in the construction industry for thermal insulation of buildings.
The odorless material can be used in many different ways and is valued by companies for its excellent properties and its weight, which makes it easy to store.
What is foam milling and how does it affect the environment?
Foam milling is used to obtain various shapes, surfaces and edges of the milled material.
Milled foams are used in many fields such as furniture, automotive, food, cosmetics and many others.
Thanks to milling, it is possible to obtain the desired shape of the packaging while maintaining its repeatability, which means we can make hundreds, thousands and more of the same packaging.
Milling can also be used to finish the material to make it smoother and more aesthetically pleasing.
Polyurethane foam is an environmentally friendly material, compared, for example, to polystyrene foam, and is completely recyclable.
Environmental benefits of foam milling compared to other production methods
Polyurethane foam can be recycled, so it can be reused in accordance with ecological principles.
Our company specializes in the production of polyurethane foam packaging, which is safe for people, animals and the natural environment.
Polyurethane, from which the foam is created, is completely inert to the environment, and therefore completely safe to use.
Polyurethane foam, although recycled, can be used for a very long time, as its durability is at the highest level.
The scraps and pieces of polyurethane foam that remain after processing can be used to create packaging or recycled to make entirely new things.
Foam milling vs. material recycling – is it possible?
During the production of polyurethane foam, very low levels of carbon dioxide emissions are produced, making it a low-impact material for the environment.
If we consider the foam, which is used to create the insulation layer of buildings, the level of CO2 entering the atmosphere is reduced to minimal amounts, which improves the situation considering the amount that is produced during production. Recycled polyurethane foams are transformed into an entirely new product.
Interestingly, its properties do not change at all after recycling, and it performs in the same way as one produced from brand-new ingredients.
