Furniture also uses almost 1/3 of the polyurethane foam that is made worldwide, and it is wholly petrochemical based. Some upholstery manufacturers are now using 鈥渂io-foam鈥?which has some level of soy-based foam as a component. Complete soy foam does not yet have the durability and resilience needed, but the foam manufacturers are working to increase that percentage and make progress each year. The automobile companies have been in the forefront of requiring recylcability for their products and the foam used in car seating has helped the process for furniture manufacturers who are willing to pay the premium for bio-foam. The other eco-friendly alternatives are down and natural latex, and are most often found in custom upholstery. |
