Foam Designed for Recycling

Recyclable foam packaging refers to foam materials that can be processed and reused, either directly or after being broken down, to create new products. Some foam types, like Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Polyethylene Foam (PE), are commonly recyclable and can be used in various applications, including packaging, construction, and insulation.

At Polyformes, we have over 40 years of experience manufacturing, converting and supplying foam solutions to our clients in the UK, Europe and Internationally. Our team has a wealth of experience and skill in producing custom designed foam components to suit a variety of niche applications across a number of industries such as aviation, automotive, medical and more.

If you're looking for a foam solution designed to be recycled, at Polyformes, we utilise a number of different materials including ARPLANK, Ethafoam and Stratocell to protect your products at all times.

Our recyclable foam materials can be engineered in the same way as all of our other materials, whilst still maintaining their sustainability, including printing, moulding, laser cutting, waterjet cutting and more.

ARPLANK

As the UK's exclusive supplier of ARPLANK, our team has a huge amount of knowledge on the material. ARPLANK is ideal for use in a number of different scenarios including packaging and cushioning, expandable and returnable dunnage, thermal management and flotation. ARPLANK comes in three different densities including ARPLANK 20, ARPLANK 30 and ARPLANK 45 to meet all of the needs of your business.

Ethafoam

Ethafoam is another material we frequently use for recycling. Available in a number of different grades, densities and sizes, Ethafoam can be used for applications that need shock absorption, vibration dampening, insulation, barrier or buoyancy components, and damage protection.

Stratocell

Stratocell is ideal for businesses or organisations looking to save money on packaging. Stratocell's cost-effectiveness is achieved due to its ability to be reused countless times without any degradation, and its lightweight, which helps to reduce fuel costs in transportation.
