The project team’s members, which include the BFM, are initially concerned with identifying the technical challenges and solutions required for the development of a foaming process that significantly reduces the current levels of exposure to staff from toxic isocyanate emissions and the reduction of waste generated by today’s technology and processes used in the production of polyurethane foam.
The FreeFOAM project, which is funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme, has a planned duration of three years.

Interiors UK to highlight innovation
Looking towards January, UBM, the organiser of Interiors UK is focused on new innovations, to better help visitors and exhibitors make the connections that will build business in 2014.
A new, interactive floorplan is in development for the UK’s biggest trade interiors event – companies will be able to go online and see exactly which companies have booked, where they are and what spaces are still available. This service will allow for faster, better-informed decisions on positioning within the show.
Interiors UK always takes a progressive stance, and boasts a strong online presence together with the increasing use of social media. At this year’s edition, visitors and exhibitors were impressed by the text and tele-messaging that kept them informed of opening times and travel arrangements during the poor weather.
