Is foam-in-place “green” with concerns to the environment?
The chemical resins combine to make very bio-stable urethane foam. The reaction makes up to 150 times the volume of resin. So most of this foam is just air, like air pillows or bubble wrap. There are channels to recycle or reuse urethane foam but if it is just “thrown away” it compresses into a very small volume taking up very little space in a land fill. Reduce Reuse and Recycle. Foam-in-place by nature is very green. You don’t have to fill the entire box full of foam to get proper shipping protection. Just a shot to the corners and critical areas is all that’s necessary.
