For years ORSA foam has been committed to making its production increasingly circular, firmly believing that every resource can be recovered and reintroduced into the production cycle for a more sustainable future. 

At ORSA foam, the circular economy takes shape through concrete choices that transform end-of-life materials into new resources. Two projects, one vision: reduce the environmental impact, enhancing what already exists.

Agglomerate R: new life for polyurethane

With the Agglomerate R, ORSA foam recovers polyurethane from discarded mattresses, which is sanitized and mechanically transformed into a technical material suitable for multiple applications. A virtuous example of mechanical recycling that reuses a material that would otherwise be destined for disposal. This process allows giving new life to polyurethane, closing the production loop and contributing to waste reduction.

Recycla®: a more conscious use of resources

With Recycla®, instead, ORSA foam uses polyols derived from the chemical recycling of post-consumer polyurethane or from PET recycling. These raw materials are incorporated into new formulations of flexible polyurethane foams, maintaining technical performance but with a reduced environmental footprint.

Recycla® represents a concrete application of the principles of the circular economy, giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfill. With Recycla®, ORSA foam takes a significant step toward a more responsible production model.

Sustainability: shared choices and widespread responsibility

Two complementary approaches, one direction: giving value to what already exists, reducing waste and virgin resource use. For ORSA foam, sustainability is not only a matter of innovation, but also of shared choices and widespread responsibility. The change has begun; it is up to all of us to continue it.
