TrimVisible BIO

TrimVisible™ BIO replaces petroleum-based materials in polyurethane seating foam to create foam with net neutral carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Scope 1. This innovative product reduces the overall CO2 footprint and allows for a cradle-to-gate reduction without sacrificing material properties, performance, and comfort.

After a lifetime of net CO2 absorption, decaying trees and forest residue are usually a source of CO2 emissions through decomposition or combustion as part of the biocarbon lifecycle. Through a partnership with a certified sustainable managed forest, Woodbridge developed a proprietary process to convert residue from commercial lumber processing into a high-purity form of biocarbon. The biocarbon is sequestered, thus effectively locking CO2 in a form that can displace conventional urethane chemicals and be integrated into Woodbridge’s high-performing polyurethane seat foam chemistry.

Applications
