Sustainability by design: the environmental impact of the Soku Minute Mattress

Introduction

Sustainability is a core value at Soku. The Soku Minute Mattress delivers comfort and hygiene while keeping environmental impact low. Every part of it, from materials to logistics, supports a cleaner and more responsible approach.

Responsible material choices

  • Certified LDPE film: Each mattress is made from European LDPE film, certified for food contact and free from harmful substances. This keeps it safe for users and the environment.
  • Minimal material use: Each mattress uses only as much film as it needs for comfort and efficiency, which keeps waste low.
  • CO2 impact per mattress: Producing the film for one Soku Minute Mattress results in only 0.46 kg CO2 emissions. This figure covers the film for one mattress, so the footprint per mattress is transparent and easy to compare.
  • Fully recyclable: The LDPE film can be recycled after use, which supports recycling and reduces landfill waste.

Efficient production and logistics

  • Compact cartridge format: Mattresses are produced and transported on a cartridge, so thousands of mattresses can be delivered in a single vehicle. This reduces transport emissions and storage space.
  • On-site inflation: Mattresses are inflated only when needed, which removes unnecessary waste and keeps each mattress fresh and hygienic.

Supply chain sustainability

  • Our LDPE film supplier takes part in initiatives such as Operation Clean Sweep and the Plastic Pact NL, which shows a commitment to reducing plastic waste and supporting industry-wide sustainability goals.
  • We work closely with certified partners to keep improving production and logistics, which further reduces environmental impact over time.
