Driving circularity is key to a sustainable future as it enhances product reusability, recyclability and durability, reducing waste and conserving resources. By promoting energy and resourcing efficiency, we can reduce our environmental impact and drive innovation to transition to a circular economy.
To achieve this, we have undertaken key actions:
Developed in close collaboration with our strategic partner, Evonik, this groundbreaking technology sets a new industry benchmark in closed-loop foam solutions. This concept foam has been proven at pilot scale at Vita’s Accrington site and is designed to deliver the same high-performance characteristics as conventional foams. Building on 5 years of continuous development, Orbis Ultra is our most advanced, sustainable solution to date and marks a transformative step in flexible PU foam production and its role in creating a resilient future.
Key features:
Chain of custody is crucial to maintaining the integrity of our supply chain. To increase our supply chain traceability, ensure we are sourcing responsibly and reduce our environmental impact, we have integrated ISCC+ certified mass balance products into our supply chain. In 2024, we had 6 sites certified to sell mass balance with an ISCC+ sustainability declaration.
As achieving a fully circular economy demands long-term investment, technological innovation and a fundamental transformation of existing processes and systems, tools such as mass balance for a key enabler in the scaling up of circularity in the industry.
Its key features include:
We understand that all products and services have an impact on the planet. At Vita, we are determined to fully evaluate that impact and explore ways to continue to reduce it. We believe that transparency on key measures such as GHGs, water use and ozone depletion can be a driver for change and can inform our purchasing decisions in the future. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a normalised and scientific method which validates how sustainable a product or process is.
We are proud to offer a cradle-to-gate tool which has produced third-party verified data, made available for our customers. By providing customers with reliable and scientifically backed data, we support them in achieving their own environmental goals.
