Evonik partners with Vita Group for recycling process for polyurethane mattresses

Evonik has developed a chemical recycling process for converting flexible polyurethane foams back to the original polyol raw material. As the next phase of the development, Evonik will scale-up trials of its new hydrolysis process in partnership with The Vita Group, a provider of flexible PU foam products. The Vita Group has trialled the recycled polyols from Evonik's hydrolysis process in several of its flexible foam applications. For more information click here.
