Enkev has been turning natural fibres into quality products for more than 90 years. Since its foundation in 1932, Enkev has become one of the world’s leading processors of natural fibres, transforming them into new and innovative products to be used in almost limitless applications …
Enkev says that the demands being made by manufacturers and consumers have never influenced products more than they do today – especially via social media. Ethically sourced, traceability, carbon footprint, end-of-life stories and fully biodegradable materials are all key features required by consumers.
“Here at Enkev we can offer products that not only meet but exceed consumer expectations, and with an eye on the future we are always looking to develop new materials with our manufacturing partners,” states the supplier.
Enkev’s PURe product, for example, is a natural and recyclable option for use as a PU foam replacement material. Matched by density to a wide range of foams being used today, it offers customers a simple way to reduce their reliance on PU foams, taking strategic steps to move them towards a more sustainable product build.
Produced using either plant or animal fibres, skilfully blended, and bonded using latex, the product is 100% plastic free, says Enkev: “According to the latest CO2 analysis carried out by an external source, our PURe products have a 4-20 x lower carbon footprint compared to PU foam. PURe is a ground-breaking, future-proof natural solution for businesses working towards the goal of carbon neutrality.”
The PURe product collection is available in FR, non-FR, and even an option approved by The Vegan Society, offering fully certified products for some of today’s most demanding customers.
“Our PURe (PU foam replacement) is the cleanest solution for wasteful and polluting PU foam,” says Enkev. “Now is the time to substitute with natural and biodegradable materials.”
PURe comprises purely natural materials, and is made from the waste and by-products of other industries. “Designed to fit your needs and your industry, PURe provides comfort, ventilation and durability,” says Enkev.
“We can all make a difference to the world around us, and it starts with talking small steps – simply remove 25mm of the PU foam currently used and replace it with PURe, to join Enkev on the journey to a better world.
“The Enkev Group has immense pride and passion for our position as a supplier of high-quality, high-integrity, responsible filling solutions, and our partnerships with GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards) and The Vegan Society helps us take our ethical and traceable supply chain to truly unique levels.
“Continuing our commitment towards the NBF’s ethos to provide transparent, sustainable products, that are good for not only the industry, but the consumer, and the planet, our new PURe PU foam replacement product meets all these key points.”
