Foams that Fit. Today & Tomorrow.
Sustainability

Foams that Fit.
Today & Tomorrow.

Since our first production steps in 1980, we have continuously developed our foam solutions and production processes with attention to performance, material efficiency and long-term value. For us, innovation, perfoamance and resource efficiency go hand in hand.

Responsibility Built into Every Cell
Three pillars that guide our actions

Our 2030 Goals

  • Circularity

    • Circular carbon content in polymers used: ≥ 30%
    • Recycled content in plastic packaging: ≥ 30%
    • Recycled content in cardboard packaging: 100%
    • Resource efficiency without compromising quality
    • Continuous increase of recycled & circular materials in products
  • Decarbonisation

    • Reduction of CO2 emissions by 30% (compared to 2019) : Driving sustainability through lower scope 1 & 2 emissions
    • 100% of externally sourced electricity from green
  • Empowerment

    • Safety first: Strong safety culture & reduce accidents, LTIFR < 5
    • Learning culture: Continuous training opportunities, in average 24+ hours per employee/year
    • Long-term employment relationships: Voluntary turnover < 10%

Turning Commitment into Action

Reusing Production Waste

Reusing Production Waste

We take back foam waste from customers to recycle and reuse it in our production.

In 2025, we used more than 1,100 tons of circular materials sourced from outside of NMC, thus saving the equivalent quantity of primary raw materials. We will continue our efforts to introduce post-consumer recycled (PCR) material in our products in the next years.

Green Electricity

100% Green Electricity

We power our Belgium site with renewable electricity.

Supported by onsite solar systems covering 12% of its total consumption.

Smart Water Management

Smart Water Management

We reduce water use through closedloop systems across our production sites.

Our water purification stations ensure that contaminated water is collected, filtered, cleaned and returned to the next production cycle.

Low-Carbon Technologies

Low-Carbon Technologies

We invest in solutions that cut emissions and drive sustainable production.

By investing in technologies, machines and process development to support our continuous improvement in manufacturing.

Energy Efficiency at Every Step

Energy Efficiency at Every Step

We optimize processes and have set up an energy monitoring system.

To measure our electricity, heat, compressed air and water consumption site-wide.

Focused Energy Savings

Focused Energy Savings

We reduce emissions through optimized compressor performances, advanced extruder insulation, and energy-efficient facilities.

Such as our newly constructed halls at the Eynatten site, which are powered by heat pumps, solar energy and smart heat recovery systems.

ISO 14001 certified

ISO 14001 certified

NMC SA, NMC Sverige, NMC Cellfoam AB, NMC Cellfoam OY and NMC Termonova are ISO 14001 certified.

Reflecting our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.

Gold Medal EcoVadis

Gold Medal from EcoVadis

In March 2025, NMC SA received a Gold Medal from EcoVadis in recognition of its sustainability management system assessment.

This milestone reflects the ongoing efforts of our teams and reinforces our focus on responsible business practices and continuous improvement.
