This eco-friendly option helps minimize landfill waste and incineration while maintaining the quality, durability, and comfort typical of traditional PU foam. The Vita Group emphasizes that Orbis aids in reducing carbon footprints and supports a circular economy, aligning with global sustainability objectives. The foam is suitable for both bedding and furniture applications and is available commercially in standard ether and high-resilience variants.

In July 2024, Domfoam Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of polyurethane foam, acquired Foamco for an undisclosed sum.
