Recycling mattresses creates gainful employment and reduces the high dependency on landfill yet at the same time, it is a labour intensive operation as each mattress has to be broken down into various components which consist of...

..........Cotton.......... ....Woven............. ...Nylon.............. Metal...............Foam

.....

After being broken down, we send the components to several businesses, for example...

Springs go to scrap yards, foam and plastics are dropped off at local recycling centres and the timber is mulched.

We're currently conducting trials with local growers to see if the cotton waste could be added to compost to enhance moisture retention and bulk up the soil.
