WoodFoam Solutions
Fiber-based cushioning solutions for lightweight products
Nefab's WoodFoam Solutions are recyclable foam applications for lightweight products. Sustainable and healthy alternatives to plastic-based and PU foam, WoodFoam Solutions are fiber-based, repulpable, recyclable as paper, and 100% isocyanate-free.
Sustainable Solutions
WoodFoam Solutions are fiber-based and recyclable foam applications that generate 4 times less CO2 emissions than PU foams. Additionally, WoodFoam Solutions are 100% isocyanate-free.
Customizable Cushioning
WoodFoam Solutions behave like memory foam material, offering low G-performance for light products. Each solution can be converted and customized to fit different product shapes and dimensions.
Recyclable Solutions
WoodFoam Solutions are recyclable as paper, the world's largest recycling stream. They are also repulpable and have no adhesive impurities.
Sustainable alternative to PU foam and the 3Rs of the circular economy
In a comparative analysis, WoodFoam Solutions reduce CO2 emissions by ~ 70% compared to PU foams. Additionally, WoodFoam Solutions reduce plastic consumption, enable the reuse of packaging, and are recyclable as paper. These are the 3Rs of the circular economy!

Nefab's WoodFoam Solutions: 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. Thales has 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 WoodFoam 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.
Reducing environmental impact
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 Solutions instead of regular foams in your packaging solutions, 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.
We save resources in supply chains
Nefab develops smart packaging and logistics solutions that save both financial and environmental resources in supply chains.
