Recycling mattresses far outweighs burying or burning them
when it comes to carbon emission reductions
With over 6 million+ entering the waste stream every year then that’s more than 5 million
that are completely destroyed and those valuable recyclable materials lost forever
%
Recycled

The outer layer is sliced apart which exposes the inner layers and spring unit. Once they are all removed from each other then virtually everything can and does get reused to manufacture new products
%
Incinerated

Mattresses are either thrown straight into an incinerator or they are first shredded using a huge machine just to recover the metal and then all the other mixed textiles are then burnt which is a huge release of CO2 & a waste of resources
%
Landfilled

At one time this was the easier and cheaper option but we all now know that landfill capacity is running out fast and it is the worst of all the options as far as waste disposal is concerned as it offers zero benefits environmentally

Recycling materials from the waste stream means that carbon dioxide has been “recovered” since energy doesn’t have to be used to make new materials that would otherwise be destroyed and lost forever if landfilled or incinerated
Every part of a mattress or a bed base unit can be recycled with some materials being more easily reused than others. Currently, we reuse more
than 98% of all mattress component materials to be pre-treated and then sold on to businesses who then use those to manufacture products such as Soundproofing, Underlay, Insulation, Laminate Flooring, Furniture Padding, Furniture Stuffing, Entrance Matts, Boot Liners and many many more
