The innovative green technology of purman® recycled rigid PU foam made its public debut with a win. Not just any win, but at the prestigious Red Bull Soapbox Race, returning to Budapest after 16 years. The Purma Team entered with a rolling Igloo and took first place.
Recycling PU foams is an important step towards environmental sustainability. While chemical recycling provides base materials for the production of new PU products, mechanical recycling can directly and cost-effectively produce marketable products.
As we delve into the realm of sustainable materials management, the recycling of rigid polyurethane (PU) foam presents both a significant challenge and opportunity. This post explores recent research trends, groundbreaking developments, and prospective recycling methods poised to shape the next decade.
In the world of materials science and sustainability, few stories are as compelling as that of the transformation of polyurethane (PU) foam from waste to worth. The PURMAN project represents a pioneering effort in this journey, showcasing how recycling can turn a problematic waste product into valuable resources.
An effective case study on implementing a closed recycling loop for rigid PU foams involves several key steps.
Polyurethane (PU) foam is a versatile material widely used across various industries, but its disposal and recycling pose significant environmental challenges.
Rigid polyurethane (PU) foam is a versatile material widely used in various industries, from construction to automotive.
