The Problem

Every year in the UK, an incredible 7.3 million mattresses are thrown away. Sadly, only around 20% of these are recycled,That means nearly 6 million mattresses either take up valuable landfill space or contribute to harmful emissions through incineration.

According to the End of Life Mattress Report 2019 by Oakdene Hollins and Bed Advice UK, mattresses occupy ten times more landfill space than most other waste types.

But here’s the good news: 70% of a sprung mattress is made of metal—a highly recyclable material. By recycling this metal instead of burying it, we can drastically reduce the need for mining and manufacturing new materials. If more mattresses were recycled, it would significantly lower carbon emissions, helping to shrink the environmental impact of mattress disposal.

The Solution

The problem of mattress waste might seem overwhelming, but the solution is clear: recycling. By adopting eco-friendly mattress disposal practices, we can transform this challenge into an opportunity for environmental impact.

Our Solution: Mattress Recycling Made Simple

  1. Collecting Old Mattresses:
    We make it easy to responsibly dispose of your old mattress. Whether you're an individual, retailer, or hotel, we provide convenient pickup services to ensure your mattress doesn’t end up in a landfill.

  2. Breaking Down the Mattress:

    • Metal Components: The springs and frames, which make up 70% of a sprung mattress, are extracted and recycled into new products, reducing the need for mining raw materials.
    • Foam and Textiles: These are shredded and repurposed into carpet underlay, insulation, or other useful materials, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

  3. Minimizing Landfill Use:
    By recycling every possible component, we significantly reduce the number of mattresses sent to landfills or incineration. This means less waste, fewer emissions, and a healthier planet.

  4. Supporting the Circular Economy:
    Recycling mattresses contributes to the circular economy by turning old materials into valuable resources, reducing the strain on natural ecosystems.

Why Choose Recycling?

  • Reduces landfill space used by bulky mattresses.
  • Cuts down on carbon emissions from incineration.
  • Conserves resources by reusing metal, foam, and textiles.
  • Helps protect the environment for future generations.
