Dow Chemical and Mobius Technologies are jointly installing a polyurethane recycling system at Dow's Technical Development Center near Geneva, Switzerland. The system gives flexible foam producers a way to turn scrap foam into an asset, reducing the costs of producing new foam. Dow will make the facility open to foam manufacturers interested in using the technology. The equipment will be ready for demonstration by the end of the year.
The two companies signed a joint marketing agreement this past April.
The facility will process commercial quantities of scrap foam. Dow will show customers scrap foam being recycled, and made into comparable foams that meet their existing product specifications.
