A method of forming a polymeric foam material is provided and includes providing a precursor material having a first thickness, the precursor material being an open-cell foam material and applying a uniaxial compressive force to the precursor material to compress the precursor material to a second thickness, the compressive force causing a cell structure of the precursor material to collapse. The method also includes heating the precursor material at a molding temperature for a first time period while the compressive force is applied, the first time period being sufficient to heat the precursor material to a softening temperature, removing the compressive force from the precursor material, and maintaining the cell structure of the precursor material in a collapsed state.

Method for production of articles and semi-finished products made of cellulose acetate, comprising the steps of recover-mg waste material consisting of cellulose acetate derived from previously made cellulose acetate articles and/or semi-finished products, distributing or positioning a mixture of at least one polymeric material inside a mould, heating and pressing the mixture inside the mould in order to form the articles or semi-finished products. The mixture is formed at least partially by the waste material consisting of cellulose acetate and the articles and/or semi-finished products may be subjected to a cooling and pressing step. The mixture is formed at least partially by fragments of cellulose acetate.
