August 27, 2026 — Upholstery materials manufacturer Nassimi recently announced that Hyphyn, the first-of-its-kind biodegradable vinyl designed for high-traffic hospitality, healthcare, education, office and retail environments, continues its mission to reduce environmental impact.
Recently published test results confirmed its safety for incineration, and the improved material backing is made from recycled plastic bottles containing the same enzyme embedded in the vinyl, further helping to reduce landfill waste.
Proven safe for incineration
Recently published test results confirm that dioxin content analysis recorded an overall I-TEQ toxicity level of less than 0.001 ng/g, further validating the material’s environmental safety, and another safe, responsible, end-of-life option.
Innovatively engineered with a patented enzyme system and proprietary resin formulation, Hyphyn biodegrades by more than 90% within two years under landfill conditions, leaving no microplastics or toxins behind, nurturing healthy soil in the process. Hyphyn maintains the durability, cleanability, and comparable price point of conventional vinyl while meeting today’s eco-conscious standards.
Key benefits:
- Proven biodegradability
- Exceptional durability
- Bleach cleanability
- Superior stain resistance
- Uncompromised performance
