Our goal is to recycle over 95% of a mattresses components, reducing waste in landfills and diminishing our carbon footprint.
The Problem
Mattresses that are sent to the waste stream have a negative impact on our environment.
Mattresses consume valuable air space in landfills due to their inability to be properly compacted and processed. Additionally, they waste space on transfer stations and transfer trucks, which leads to more trips to and from the landfills and emits higher carbon levels.
In 2021, 600,000 mattresses were disposed of in Massachusetts. Only 11% of those were recycled.
The Solution
Green Mattress is equipped to handle a minimum of 300,000 mattresses per year.
Green Mattress reduces the loads on landfills and transfer stations by almost 50% annually. If mattresses are declared a waste ban item, we could expect to remove 10 million pounds of carbon - the equivalent of removing 1,000 vehicles from the road.
The Green Mattress Process
STEP 1
We receive the mattresses from businesses and consumers (like you!).
STEP 2
Each mattress or box spring is sent along a conveyor belt, where the foam and fabrics are stripped from the framework and the metal is removed.
STEP 3
The remaining foam and fabrics are sent into a baler, and are then shipped to a recycler to be made into new foam. Our goal is to recycle up to 95% of a mattress’s materials.
