On June 6, 2025, Europe’s leading supplier of soft polyurethane foam solutions, Vita Group, unveiled its 2024 Sustainability Report, highlighting groundbreaking achievements during its 75th anniversary year.

Key achievements include:

Orbis ULTRA, developed at the UK’s Accrington pilot plant, is a game-changer in sustainable manufacturing. It uses 100% recycled polyol and TDI derived from waste foam, achieving a closed-loop solution that sets new industry standards.
