In addition to hygiene and safety, sustainability is becoming increasingly important in laboratory environments. Materials are expected to be durable, resource-efficient and low in emissions—without compromising functionality or safety.
Skintec was developed with a focus on resource-efficient manufacturing. The underlying foaming technology is based on a water-driven system, avoids halogenated propellants and PVC, and reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 25%. At the same time, the durability and performance of the material are maintained.
For this development, the Interstuhl Group was awarded the Baden-Württemberg Environmental Technology Award 2025 (2nd place, category “Material Efficiency and Resource Conservation”). The award highlights that sustainable material innovation is also feasible in sensitive laboratory applications.
