Recycling Soft Polyurethane Foam at Plama-pur d.o.o.

Plama-pur d.o.o. is a Slovenian SME with over sixty years of experience in manufacturing and processing soft polyurethane foam. Operating on both European and global markets, the company supplies a wide range of sectors including automotive, furniture, footwear, packaging, textiles, construction, and consumer goods.

Foam manufacturing generates a significant amount of production waste—scraps, PUR dust, and laminated foam remnants. The company tackles this by recycling waste foam through a process of grinding and adhesive bonding to create new foam-based products. This approach extends the utility of production residues, although recycling becomes complex when foam is laminated with other materials. Reuse and repair are limited due to foam degradation over time.

Plama-pur is also exploring innovative chemical recycling methods to break foam down into basic raw materials, although these technologies are not yet economically viable. In 2024, they developed a digital waste monitoring system to track waste generation more precisely, improving resource efficiency.
