What are foam manufacturers doing to resolve the environmental issues of foam?
Most foam manufacturers have developed and to continue to research new foam products and how best to deal with the very serious environmental issues associated with foams. Some manufacturers have been able to reduce the level of fluorosurfactants in their formulations whilst maintaining acceptable levels of performance. However, one thing is absolutely clear. If the foam you are using contains fluorosurfactants of any kind, the degradation products from these foams will persist in the environment for decades and thus need to be contained and treated accordingly.
