FOAM-X®
FOAM-X® FIVE-DOT-MISSION
FOAM-X®, the indoor foamboard with cover layers made of recycled paper has been assessed in line with our MISSION: TOGETHER. RESPONSIBLE. FOAM-X® currently achieves a FIVE-DOT classification with a total of 8 points.
Biobased content
Not only polyurethane but also recycled paper cover layers are used in the production of our FOAM-X®, foamboards. The expanded polyurethane foam core comprises 15 % of organic content. These polyols are sourced from renewable raw materials. In our production, FSC®-certified (FSC® C127595) paper is used and this makes up the main part of our FOAM-X® boards. The FSC® label stands for a continuous and credible tracking process. It is a clear indicator that the paper comes from responsible forestry and other controlled sources. The forest management is in compliance with social, economic and environmental requirements.
Recycled content
All the paper cover layers used in FOAM-X® boards are recycled FSC®-certified paper (FSC® C127595). The paper cover layers make up the majority of the weight in the entire product.
CO2 Footprint
FOAM-X® is a lightweight board featuring a foamed core between two outer paper layers. Its foamed structure enables reduced material use compared with an equivalent solid-core board. Paper accounts for the largest share of the board by weight. These material and construction characteristics contribute to the product’s carbon footprint.
Product life cycle
The FOAM-X® life span is typically at least several weeks or longer. The foamboards are primarily for simple interior applications (e.g. ceiling mounted suspended signs, window decoration, model building or for the backing board of picture frames).
