Recycled Foam and Sustainable Packaging
COMMITTED TO INCREASING SUSTAINABILITY
Recycled polyethylene and polyurethane foam products
We're working alongside our manufacturing partners and customers for a better tomorrow when it comes to foam production and recycling.
As so many plastic products end up in landfills, we're producing more and more foam products that are redeveloped using recycled foam materials. That means the foam is reused multiple times throughout its life cycle to fully benefit its protective properties.
Cost-effective, sustainable and with a high resistance to wear and tear, our durable recycled and reconstituted foams are made to last, making Zouch a 'one stop' source for environmentally friendly products and therefore supporting a reduced carbon footprint.
They can be cut to size and are available in a range of different densities and colours, offering various options to businesses seeking more sustainable opportunities for their projects.
