Cherry fruits were used in clean technologies for preparation of hydroxyl components applied in polyurethane foams. Polyphenols from cherry fruits helped to obtain a stable suspension of nanosilver particles dispersed in diethylene glycol, while cherry seeds constituted a renewable source of oil, which was transesterified into biopolyol. Such biocomponents containing nanosilver particles were applied to obtain open cell heat insulating polyurethane foams resistant to a fungus strain Candida albicans. The influence of nanosilver concentration in diethylene glycol, reaction temperature, and catalyst concentration on the biopolyols and the properties of the final foams were subjected to a statistical analysis. It was found that the following process conditions were crucial in obtaining the most desired foams (in terms of their physical and mechanical properties): the catalyst content—0.225%, the concentration of DEG with nanoAg—25%, temperature—188 °C. Such an approach allowed us to obtain open cell polyurethane foams in line with Green Chemistry rules.
