(Filed Under wholesale Accessories News). Belgium-based Recticel has added a new eco-friendly foam to its Body Foams product range that will keep the impact from industrial activities on the living environment to a minimum.
The new foam, entitled PureFeel polyurethane uses in part soybean based polyol as raw material. “The main advantage of using PureFell is indeed the more eco-friendly nature of the foam and the benefits of this for the environment,” said Helga Laporte, product manager. “So this foam fits perfectly into collections that are being made on a greener basis by using organic cotton and natural fibers, for example.”
Bert Van Langendock, sales and marketing manager, outlines the effects PureFell has on the environment as such: “bio-polyols leave a smaller environmental footprint as substituting traditional petrochemical polyol with bio-based polyol will result in 36 percent less global warming emissions, 61 percent less non-renewable energy use and 23 percent less total energy demand. Moreover, for every one million pounds of bio-polyol used, approximately 2,200 barrels of crude petroleum is saved for other uses.”
PureFeel will be introduced to the public during the Hong Kong Mode Lingerie exhibition on April 7-8, 2009.
