Do you use polyurethane rigid foam in your production?
Are by-products from polyurethane rigid foam generated during your production process?
Are your transport and disposal costs for by-products from polyurethane rigid foam high because the product is very bulky?
There is another way.
Return polyurethane rigid foam by-products from your production process to the material cycle and reduce disposal and transport costs.
Suitable polyurethane rigid foam by-products from your production process can be returned to the material cycle and used as a raw material for new products.
Demonstrate your company's participation in the NEXT STEP PU take-back system. Participating companies receive a certificate confirming their participation and may use it in their corporate communications.
NEXT STEP PU is an initiative of puren gmbh. Through NEXT STEP PU, suitable polyurethane rigid foam by-products are returned to the material cycle, supporting the circular use of raw materials.
NEXT STEP PU was created initially for the company's own use and was later extended to other producers choosing to supply their high quality by-products from polyurethane rigid foam to a new product lifecycle.
Companies participating in NEXT STEP PU return suitable polyurethane rigid foam by-products to the material cycle, supporting the circular use of raw materials. Participation in NEXT STEP PU can be communicated transparently as part of a company‘s corporate communications.
The quality of the by-products from polyurethane rigid foam correspond to the contractual agreements for the participation in NEXT STEP PU. For the by-products the following quality requirements must be met:
For the transportation of polyurethane by-products various logistics solutions are available such as offcuts, flour, or briquettes.
