H&S 帮助RetourMatras 完成了报废塔恢复再利用工厂的建设

近期，H&S Anlagentechnik GmbH 已成功完成 RetourMatras 工业规模反应器工厂的调试，RetourMatras 是一家专门从事床垫拆解及其转化为循环资源的荷兰回收公司。新安装的回收工厂采用先进的解聚回收技术，利用报废床垫的聚氨酯泡沫 (PU) 生产高质量的回收多元醇 (Repolyol)。

就在最近，RetourMatras 还与宜家零售合作，根据宜家对回收或可再生材料制成的产品的做法，寻找床垫报废的循环解决方案。

在欧洲，估计每年有 4000 万张床垫被废弃。与焚烧相比，废弃床垫的回收有助于回收材料以供再利用，从而使它们保持在循环中。为了减少废物量并显着减少垃圾填埋和焚烧，欧盟的目标是到 2030 年回收 65% 的城市废物。“通过将报废床垫中的 PU 废物转化为适合使用的高质量回收多元醇 在新的 PU 产品中，我们的创新回收技术可以为实现欧盟废物法规这一宏伟目标做出宝贵贡献。”H&S 销售副总经理 Mila Skokova 解释道。“这就是为什么我们非常高兴看到越来越多的公司对多元醇的回收感兴趣，因此正在寻找可持续的聚氨酯回收解决方案。”

H&S 不断致力于改进其报废 PU 回收技术和设备。荷兰新安装的反应器工厂并不是该公司第一个工业规模的聚氨酯回收项目。例如，作为世界第二大化学集团陶氏化学集团 RENUVA™ 床垫回收计划的一部分，H&S 团队支持法国 Orrion Chemicals Orgaform 的可持续系统概念。此外，波兰最大的 PU 块状泡沫制造商之一 Ikano Industry（以前称为 Dendro Polish）自 2013 年以来一直在使用 H&S 技术，并从生产废料中回收有价值的多元醇。

H&S COMPLETES SET-UP OF A RECYCLING PLANT FOR END-OF-LIFE MATTRESSES IN THE NETHERLANDS

Sulingen, Germany –  H&S Anlagentechnik GmbH has successfully completed  commissioning of an industrial-scale reactor plant for RetourMatras, a Dutch recycling company specialized in dismantling of mattresses and their transformation into circular resources. The newly installed recycling plant uses an advanced depolymerization recycling technology to produce high-quality recycled polyol (Repolyol) from polyurethane foam (PU) from end-of-life mattresses.

Polyol is one of the key building blocks of polyurethane foam, the main cushioning material in mattresses. Its recovery without compromising on its quality enables its reuse as a circular raw material for the production of new PU foam and thus for new mattresses and other upholstered furniture - a significant step to circularity. “The H&S process allows us to chemically recycle different foam from various mattress manufacturers, supporting our ambition to secure that no mattress goes to waste by transforming it into circular resources,” emphasizes Chico van Hemert, Managing Director at RetourMatras. Commissioning took place in May 2023 in Lelystad (NL)allowing the newly built recycling plant to convert PU foam from 200,000 mattresses into repolyols annually using the cutting-edge recycling technology of H&S.

Just recently, RetourMatras also partnered with IKEA Retail to find a circular solution for the end-of-life of their mattresses in line with IKEA's approach to products made from recycled or renewable materials.

In Europe, an estimated 40 million mattresses are disposed every year. Compared to incineration, the recycling of discarded mattresses can help to recover materials for reuse and thus keep them in the loop. To counter the amount of waste and significantly reduce landfill and incineration streams, the European Union is aiming to recycle 65% of municipal waste by 2030. “By converting PU waste from end-of-life mattresses into high-quality recovered polyols suitable for use in new PU products, our innovative recycling technology can make a valuable contribution to achieving this ambitious goal of the EU waste regulation,” explains Mila Skokova, Deputy Managing Director Sales at H&S. "That’s why we are very pleased that more and more companies are interested in the recovery of polyols and therefore are looking for sustainable PU recycling solutions.”

H&S is continuously working on advancing its technologies and equipment for end-of-life PU recycling. The newly installed reactor plant in the Netherlands is not the company’s first industrial-scale PU recycling project. As part of the RENUVA™ mattress recycling program of Dow, the second largest chemical group in the world, the H&S team for example supported Orrion Chemicals Orgaform from France with their sustainable system concept. Besides, one of the biggest Polish PU slabstock foam manufacturers Ikano Industry (previously Dendro Poland) has been using H&S technology since 2013 also recovering valuable polyols from production waste.
