The Environment
At FXI, a healthy environment is a fundamental operating priority. We are careful to integrate safe, sustainable practices into all of our eco friendly foam products, processes and facilities. From innovative plant-based raw materials to recycling nearly 100% of operating waste, we are committed to meeting or exceeding public and industry environmental standards every day.
OUR QUALITY
As a strategic polyurethane foam manufacturer and supplier to markets including Automotive, Healthcare and Aerospace, we are proud to be recognized as a leader in quality. Our qualifications include ISO 9000 and QS9000, as well as TS 16949 and TS14001. In addition, we apply Lean, Six Sigma and TQM principles in our operations and activities everyday. We maintain a Masterfile with the FDA to speed product developments in Healthcare and utilize internal A2LA accredited laboratory facilities and various outside agencies to provide differentiated service to our customers.
Sustainablility
We are dedicated to the concept of sustainability for our eco friendly foam products and processes. Whether it's halogen-free Flame Retardants or plant-based raw materials, we continually seek to minimize our impact on the environment. These efforts include our focus on Recycling and Process Technology:
Recycling
We recycle essentially 100% of our internal waste and significant post-industrial and even post-consumer products. We have integrated our material handling processes throughout our network of polyurethane foam manufacturer locations, which enables us to reuse scrap materials to produce a family of cushioning products.
Reducing Hazardous Air Emissions
We are committed to environmentally responsible manufacturing. We have made significant progress in the reduction of hazardous air emissions and VOCs, which many of our competitors continue to utilize in their production processes.
Our patented Variable Pressure Foaming Technology sets the standard in environmentally responsible manufacturing of foam. In fact, VPFSM is the most environmentally friendly process for the manufacture of polyurethane foams worldwide. VPFSM enables us to develop and produce unique, value-enhancing eco friendly foam products for our customers, while providing higher yields from raw materials than traditional foaming methods. This combination in a polyurethane foam manufacturer of superior product performance and reduced air emissions provides an important technological edge for FXI.
Compared to standard foam production methods, VPFSM technology exceeds the Clean Air Act Requirements. The most beneficial advantage of the VPFSM manufacturing process is that the physical properties of the eco friendly foam can be controlled through the use of air pressure.
