About Schmitz Foam Recycling
For more than 35 years, manufacturers and converters have trusted us to manage their XPE foam residues. As one of the world's largest processors of XPE foam materials, we combine expertise with a proactive, partnership-driven approach to develop tailored solutions for every customer.
Our total care service covers the entire process, from collection to the transformation of XPE foam residues into valuable new products. Together, we create long-term solutions that keep foam materials in use and support a more circular industry.
How our foam repurposing process works
Assessment
We assess your XPE 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, XPE foam residues were typically incinerated or sent to landfill. Today, our material reuse process helps partners worldwide keep valuable foam materials in use and reduce their environmental impact.
Together, we ensure that no XPE foam is lost.
Discover the circular approach behind our process. See how collected XPE foam residues are transformed into a valuable raw material and then repurposed into high-quality products that contribute to safer and more sustainable sports fields and playgrounds.

Shredder at your plant
For selected partners, we can provide an on-site shredder to process foam residues 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.
