Landfill & Incineration Diversion
The supplied Shopify content notes that the UK disposes of approximately 8 million mattresses every year, with the majority going to landfill or incineration. Rematt’s collection model is designed to divert collected mattresses from those routes.
Recycling Figures
Rematt tracks and reports on mattresses processed, with the aim of recovering the majority of suitable materials and returning them to supply chains.
The Waste Hierarchy
Reduce, Reuse, Refurbish, Recycle. Mattresses are assessed for refurbishment before they are considered for material recovery.
CO2 Reduction
Local manufacturing, spring-unit refurbishment and end-of-life mattress recycling are used to reduce material demand and the footprint associated with the supply chain.
Material Recovery
Steel, foam, fibre and fabric are separated and redirected where suitable, either into manufacturing supply chains or secondary-use applications.
Circular Manufacturing
ReSprung closes part of the loop by refurbishing reclaimed spring units from collected mattresses and incorporating them into newly manufactured products.
