European Association of Flexible Polyurethane
European Association of Flexible Polyurethane The European Association of Flexible Polyurethane (EUROPUR) represents the flexible polyurethane foam industry, including nearly 110 member organizations such as foam producers, raw material suppliers, machinery manufacturers, service providers, and national associations. The private company is based in Brussels, Belgium. The association promotes the benefits and sustainable development of flexible PU foam, advocates for the industry in regulatory and legislative matters, and facilitates collaboration along the supply chain. EUROPUR operates through expert working groups focused on product stewardship, environment, health and safety, sustainability, and communication. It manages initiatives like the CertiPUR™ voluntary certification program for environmental, health, and safety standards, and PureLCA®, a life cycle assessment software for flexible PU foam. The association emphasizes sustainability, resource efficiency, and waste minimization through reuse and advanced recycling technologies. EUROPUR addresses challenges related to end-of-life foam collection, market development for recycled materials, and regulatory harmonization, and collaborates with ISOPA to ensure safe handling of diisocyanates and promote consumer safety. The association provides industry data, noting that flexible PU foam production involves around 172 factories producing approximately 1.35 million tonnes annually, with major applications in bedding, upholstered furniture, and transportation. It also supports industry events, publications, and member services to foster knowledge exchange and sector advancement. | Directeur/Membre du Conseil | 01/06/2012 |
