Practical guide: recycling and responsible disposal of Soku Minute Mattress

Introduction

The Soku Minute Mattress is designed for sustainability and supports more than one recycling option after use. Organizations can return used mattresses through their Soku supplier for supply chain recycling, or arrange local recycling, depending on their preference and local infrastructure.

Option 1: Local recycling

  1. Prepare the mattresses:
    After use, cut the mattresses open to release the air and flatten them for easier handling.
  2. Sort and collect:
    Gather the mattresses in suitable bags or containers, and keep them free from non-recyclable materials.
  3. Contact local recycling services:
    Contact your municipal waste service or a local recycling partner to confirm that they accept LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film. Provide material information if needed.
  4. Arrange transport:
    Deliver the collected mattresses to the recycling facility according to local guidelines.

Option 2: Return for supply chain recycling

  1. Deflate and collect:
    Cut open and deflate the used mattresses, then collect them in big bags.
  2. Coordinate with your Soku supplier:
    Contact your supplier to arrange the return of the big bags for recycling within the Soku supply chain.
  3. Arrange pick-up or delivery:
    Work with your supplier to organize transport to the recycling facility or consolidation point.
  4. Receive confirmation:
    Ask your supplier for documentation to support your sustainability reporting.

Benefits of both approaches

  • Supports recycling and reduces landfill waste.
  • Gives organizations the flexibility to choose the most practical and sustainable option.
  • Helps with environmental and reporting requirements.
