At Innovation Day 2018, organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, Kopur d.o.o. has received a silver national innovation award for the development of a composite panel made of recycled materials under a new, patented process. The Chamber’s award for the best innovations at national level is regarded the highest recognition for innovative achievements of Slovenian companies.

The innovation mitigates negative effects of waste materials on the environment by enabling their reuse. The residues are processed in special production processes and thermoformed into panels and 3D-products of various shapes and appearances, with or without the addition of binders. The result is products that can be used as decorative soundproof panels in smooth or relief form for partitions, ceiling inserts, or as a 3D component for sound isolation in the interior. The products manufactured by KOPUR correspond to the ÖKOTEX 100 as well as the VDA 278 standards and are thus safe for indoor use.
