EcoFoam: giving new life to PU foam offcuts
Applied engineering for comfort and performance
EcoFoam is developed from PU foam flakes with fabric, originating from offcuts generated during the manufacturing of PU-based insoles.
With approximately 80% recycled content, EcoFoam transforms these offcuts into a new raw material with defined technical performance.
At JOMO, industrial offcuts are not waste — they are potential.
From offcuts to a new material base
PU foam laminated with fabric cannot simply be reintroduced into the same production process.
It requires controlled agglomeration to become a stable new material base.
Through this process, EcoFoam offers:
- Dimensional stability
- Adjustable density levels
- A naturally multicolored appearance
Density as a comfort strategy
EcoFoam can be produced in different density levels:
- Softer and more flexible
- Denser and more structured
This versatility allows specific technical applications, especially in insole production.
Application: bi-density insoles
EcoFoam is particularly suitable for flat insoles combined with PU foam with a density of 60 kg/m³ or 45 kg/m³, creating bi-density structures.
The result is an insole that provides:
- High comfort
- Balanced impact absorption
- Structural stability
- Sustainable origin
Application: protective inserts for transport
EcoFoam can also be used as a protective material during transport, for example for:
- Bottles
- Glass products
- Metal parts
- Mechanical equipment
Its structure absorbs impact and protects fragile or heavy products.
Conclusion
Transforming PU foam offcuts into a new raw material requires investment and technical expertise.
EcoFoam extends the production cycle with responsibility and performance.
