Recycled & Joined

Recycled & Joined Policy 

At TheFoamShop.co.uk, our commitment to environmental responsibility drives us to make sustainable choices. Due to a shortage of TDI, the petrochemical used in foam production, we occasionally join foam to optimize resources. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to read about why we choose this eco-friendly approach.

Why Join Foam?

1. Tackling Foam Waste:

Foam cut to size often results in wastage. To combat this, we may join foam and Dacron fiber. This ensures that excess materials are efficiently repurposed, contributing to our green initiatives.

2. Joining Methods:

Lamination: Bonding layers of foam together to achieve the desired thickness.

Butt Join: Using the Simalfa water-based glue system for a soft, durable bond.

3. Eco-Friendly Dog Bed Memory Foam:

If you're ordering a dog bed memory foam combo, please note that we offer a reduced price, using up memory foam offcuts. The joining process in this case is meticulous, resulting in a strong and reliable product.

4. Customer Awareness:

Please consider the following when placing your order:

If you cannot accept joined foam, kindly contact us to request unjoined foam.

For memory foam orders, be aware that over 3" thickness may involve lamination.

Waste Reduction for Competitive Pricing:

Joining foam allows us to minimize waste, enabling us to offer competitive pricing to our valued customers without compromising on quality or comfort.

Choosing Standard Thickness Foam:

Whenever possible, we encourage customers to choose standard thickness foam options (e.g., 2.5cm, 5cm, 7.5cm, 10cm, 12.5cm, 15cm). This simple choice significantly contributes to further waste reduction.

Important Note on Foam Size:

Foam over 200cm x 121cm will be joined.

This is subject to our 1 to 14 working day dispatch.

If you prefer foam not to be joined , please notify us during the ordering process.

Contact our helpline at 01823 337766 (option 1 or 2) to discuss size limitations based on the grade.

Thank you for supporting our eco-conscious practices. At TheFoamShop.co.uk, we believe in creating a sustainable future without compromising on quality or customer satisfaction.
