Development of Eco Recycled Material to Replace PU Foam in the Mattress Industry

纺织毡是一家纤维专业公司，生产可回收非织造材料，用于多个行业的再利用。该公司最近开发了一种用于地毯衬垫的聚氨酯泡沫的替代品，这种泡沫完全可以很容易地回收利用。该团队将进行为期3个月的快速研发项目，以设计一种新材料，该材料将适用于更广泛的家具市场，并具有与地毯衬垫产品类似的经济生命周期效益。该团队将与几家分包商合作，利用其在布拉德福德的创新和制造设施，将材料带到设计和开发阶段，然后测试用户要求并扩大生产规模。

Texfelt is a fibre specialist, manufacturing recycled non-woven materials for reuse in a number of sectors. It has recently developed an alternative to polyurethane foam use in carpet underlay that is fully and easily recyclable.The team will undertake a 3-month rapid R&D project to design a new material that would be applicable for the wider furniture market and have similar economic lifecycle benefits as the carpet underlay product.The team will work with several subcontractors and utilise its innovation and manufacturing facility in Bradford to take the material through design and development stages to then test it for user requirements and production scale up.
