  • The importance of using validated LCA to substantiate business decisions in the circular economy! Earlier this week at Foam Expo Dr. rer. nat. David Spitzer took part in the panel discussion 'Overcoming Regulation Fatigue to Achieve Sustainable Goals'. Dr. rer. nat. David Spitzer, innovation manager, shared his insights on how the industry can address these challenges. He highlighted the importance of integrating tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to identify sustainability opportunities and prioritise impactful actions . At Vita we already use validated LCA for example, Vita’s Lightweight Graphite Foam, designed to assist aircraft manufacturers in significantly reducing the total weight of their aircraft -  by helping to achieve substantial fuel savings and thereby reducing carbon emissions during operations. #FoamExpo2024 #SustainableGoals #Aviation #Aircraft

Cutting and peeling could be carried out either by ourselves (internal conversion) or by the customer themselves.

  • 💡 Our FILTECH 2024 Spotlight: Redefining Filtration with Carbon Impregnated Open Cell Foam Solutions. The global filtration community gathered in Cologne last week to showcase the cutting-edge innovations. Our team was proud to be part of this important conversation and a shared vision for advancing filtration technologies. Standout topics of last week at FILTECH2024: 👉 Our Activated Carbon Impregnated Open-Cell Polyurethane (PU) Foam combines the adsorption power of activated carbon with the versatile, open-cell structure of PU foam. This material provides a compelling alternative to various technologies like activated carbon non-wovens and honeycomb structures. 👉Coalescer Media - enhances the life of downstream filtration systems and critical equipment, especially in high humid and dust environments. 👉Effective Prefiltration as foam panel or foam wrap – extends filter life, helping reduce change-over frequencies and increase energy efficiency, especially in various transport, industrial and gas turbine applications. Interested in redefining what’s possible for your filtration systems? Connect with us today to explore the possibilities!

  • Vita Ludus donate 1200 mattresses to families amid challenging times in Lebanon! Amid escalating challenges in Lebanon, thousands of families have been displaced, forced to seek shelter wherever they can find it. Responding to this crisis, The Vita Group’s team in Romania joined forces with the Red Cross to provide critical support to those most in need. Our Ludus team in Romania donated 1,200 new mattresses to the Lebanese Red Cross, a contribution aimed at easing the hardships for those directly impacted by the ongoing conflict. The mattresses have begun a 35-day sea journey to Beirut. “We extend our heartfelt thanks to The Vita Group for their commitment and support in such critical times,” said representatives from the Lebanese Red Cross. “Their contribution makes a tangible difference for those facing profound hardships.” At The Vita Group, we remain committed to helping vulnerable communities globally, stepping up with meaningful action in times of crisis. #Donation #Community #Ludus
