How our foam repurposing process works
Assessment
We assess your XLPE foam remnants and determine whether they are suitable for our repurposing process.
Collection
We organize the most efficient collection and transportation method for your materials.
Recovery
The collected foam residues are processed into valuable raw materials.
New foam products
The recovered material is repurposed into high-quality foam products that remain in use for years to come.
Zero Foam Waste
Historically, XLPE foam remnants were typically incinerated or sent to landfills. Today, our material reuse process helps partners around the world keep valuable foam materials in use while reducing their environmental impact.
Together we make sure that 0% foam goes to waste.

Shredder at your plant
For selected partners, we can provide an on-site shredder to process foam remnants directly at their facility. The resulting foam flakes are then collected and transported to our processing facility.
This approach reduces transport volume, improves logistics efficiency and can significantly lower transportation costs.
