Lifecycle Innovation
EOL mattresses are a big problem worldwide. The ABSC is driving Lifecyle innovation through collaboration with global entities, research institutions and industry to identify opportunities for research and development that can lead to scalable, commercial outcomes.
Of the 1.8 million EOL mattresses disposed of every year in Australia, pleasingly, almost 60% of those are collected by a recycling function. However, current recycling practices only recover roughly 44-64% of the materials (or less) which is predominantly steel and polyurethane foam, with the balance going to landfill.
Follow our journey as we explore ways to extract value and reuse resources from end-of-life mattresses in useful and innovative ways.
