Thriving in a lower carbon economy

Four aspects of our business enable us to thrive in a lower-carbon economy and support our customers in meeting their sustainability goals.

Efficient use of raw material

Our technology and innovation deliver foam products that have a better performance per unit of weight. We use less material with integrity and durability that do not need to be frequently replaced.

Avoiding emissions

Zotefoams products are used in ways that reduce emissions and conserve scarce resources. These include thermal insulation, and lightweight packaging to protect products in transit and replace heavier alternative materials.

Natural nitrogen-based process

Our core high-pressure autoclave foaming process uses nitrogen borrowed from the atmosphere. Energy and raw material become the only environmental impact.

New Product Development

We develop lighter, more efficient, less wasteful, longer life products – including the world’s lightest closed cell crosslinked foam. We continuously innovate and design sustainable products that support circular models.

The Hierarchy of Waste

Zotefoams has put in place a Group-wide Waste Hierarchy Framework to support decision-making on waste management.

Development Goals

Zotefoams supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and have aligned a number of our processes and activities to these.

Our 2024 ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance Report builds on Zotefoams established ESG strategy and our focus on developing propositions that align with market needs, which are fuelled by research and innovation.

Managing our responsibilities towards ESG issues contributes to our long-term commitment to creating value for our customers, while safeguarding the future of the business.
