VITA PRESENTS THE FUTURE OF FOAM

The Vita Group has been working to develop the next generation of sustainable foams, ensuring it delivers a wider variety of high-performance and environmentally friendly comfort solutions …

Two of Vita’s sustainable foam ranges that can offer a circular option for bedding solutions include Novus, created from foam trim, and Origin, a foam developed using bio polyols derived from plants.

The Vita Group has manufactured rectangular reconstituted foam blocks, principally for the comfort market, since the 1970s, and cylindrical blocks for the flooring and construction markets since the early 1990s – by bonding chips of granulated post-industrial foam waste offcuts into rebonded foam. The company is therefore well practised and an expert in a recycling process that has produced high-quality and highperforming products for many years, reprocessing offcuts generated within the industry.

This year, Novus promises to take these established products and processes to a new level for the bedding sector. It introduces post-consumer derived mattress waste content, developed and stringently tested to ensure product standards are of the same high quality as its post-industrial offcut-derived equivalents. Novus will be available in join-free, cut-to-size sheets for all mattress sizes at various thicknesses, ready to place within the mattress.

Origin, meanwhile, is a new generation of sustainable foams with less reliance on petrochemicals, and is the result of advanced foam engineering. Origin is produced using renewable polyols from plants such as sunflowers, soy and castor oil.

The Vita Group collaborates with its customers within the furniture and bedding sectors on the design and manufacture of components, ensuring maximum comfort, durability, and material utilisation.

As part of its ESG agenda, The Vita Group focuses on improving the environment and creating long-term sustainable product ranges. To drive circularity and reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, all excess trim is recycled, while Vita works with mattress and furniture dismantling partners, develops foams from more sustainable raw materials, and innovates with its suppliers and customers.

Available across Vita’s FR grade portfolio and made from ethically sourced polyols, Origin delivers consistent quality, durability and hardness, retaining its shape and delivering long-lasting comfort. Highly resistant, improved tensile strength ensures better handling, while the product boasts minimal VOCs and odour.
