Freudenberg makes comfortemp fibreball more sustainable
01/03/2018
While insisting that to use 100% recycled material in a padding product “isn’t technically achievable”, the head of research and development at Freudenberg’s performance materials and apparel division, Gunter Scharfenberger, has said that the company has adapted comfortemp fibreball to make it as sustainable as possible, but that the need to use binders makes a 100% recycled version impossible.
He said: “We’ve re-engineered the product range and introduced as much recycled fibre as is technically feasible. From a technical point of view, padding is a non-woven and nonwovens usually need to be bound with polymer binders or binding fibres.”
