Nefab WoodFoam
Fiber-based cushioning solution for lightweight products
Nefab's WoodFoam is a recyclable foam for lightweight products. It is a sustainable and healthy alternative to plastic-based and PU foam: fiber-based, 100% isocyanate-free, repulpable and recyclable as paper.
Sustainable Material
Nefab's WoodFoam is a fiber-based and recyclable foam that generates 4 times less CO2 emissions than PU foams. Additionally, WoodFoam is 100% isocyanate-free.
Customizable Cushioning
Nefab’s WoodFoam behaves like memory foam material, offering low G-performance for light products. It can be converted and customized to fit different product shapes and dimensions.
Recyclable Solution
Nefab’s WoodFoam is 100% recyclable as paper, the world's largest recycling stream. It is also repulpable and has no adhesive impurities.
Eco-friendly alternative to PU Foam and 3R’s
In a comparative analysis between polyurethane foam and the recyclable foam Nefab’s WoodFoam reduces CO2 emissions by ~ 70% compared to PU foams. Additionally, as a recyclable foam solution, Nefab's WoodFoam reduces plastic consumption, enables the reuse of packaging, and it is recyclable as paper. These are the 3R’s of the circular economy!
Success Story
Thales Group is a French multinational company that designs and manufactures electrical systems and provides services to the aerospace, defense, transportation, and security industries. They have set a sustainability goal of reducing its environmental footprint by 35% by the end of 2023.
For this customer case, Nefab developed a complete packaging solution made of corrugated board and Wood foam Fibrease™, both made from sustainable raw materials, which makes the full solution recyclable in existing paper/board streams. The packaging solution has been qualified for ATA 300 cat II air transportation.
By innovating together with our customers, we create smarter and more sustainable packaging and logistics solutions that save resources in supply chains.
Environment
Fiber-based solutions like recyclable foam have a positive impact not only at the origin but also at the end destination, by minimizing landfill since the packaging solutions are recyclable as paper. By using Nefab's WoodFoam instead of regular foams, you contribute to reducing plastics in the environment.
Health and Safety
Isocyanate is a substance widely used to manufacture flexible and rigid foams, and it can harm human health. As a sustainable raw material, Nefab's WoodFoam is isocyanate-free, which protects people working with it.
