Supplier giant Magna International has launched a new automotive foam seat that is 100% recyclable, keeping seat material out of landfills.

Magna's EcoSphere product range uses a 100% melt recyclable foam and trim system to ensure the look and feel of seating materials meet the industry's standard while meeting sustainability goals. Magna’s sustainable automobile seats contribute to the company’s goal of zero waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing recyclable foam materials.

Foam is widely used because of its excellent cushioning and shock-absorbing properties, and is popular in many markets, such as construction and automobiles. In the past, people lacked environmental awareness and mistakenly believed that foam was a disposable product, which usually ended up in landfills. But in fact, waste foam is a renewable resource with high recycling value. After professional processing, waste foam can be converted into foam particles, which are the raw materials for manufacturing recycled products. The global recycled plastics market size is expected to reach USD 65.09 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

So, what kind of professional processing does waste foam undergo to become foam particles? INTCO Recycling has developed professional GREENMAX foam recycling machines, which can process waste into high-quality foam particles. Meanwhile, INTCO Recycling can provide customers with comprehensive foam recycling solutions, which can keep up with almost all types of foam. We will have an in-depth understanding of the customer's needs of waste foam recycling, including foam type, output, recycling rate and other information, and design a recycling plan that is most suitable for the customer.

GREENMAX foam compactor can compress loose foam into dense foam ingots at a high ratio for easy subsequent transportation and storage. If 90 cubic meters of waste foam are put into the compactor's silo, the compressed foam ingot ends up being only 1 cubic meter, which can be easily stored on a pallet. Later, these foam ingots can be made into environmentally friendly frame products, such as picture frames, skirting boards, flooring, etc., and sold all over the world.

Magna's automotive foam seats enable sustainability and lower the carbon footprint of Magna products. At the same time, INTCO Recycling can also help you achieve foam recycling and environmental protection goals. If you have any questions, we are happy to answer you.
