Practical guide: recycling and responsible disposal of Soku Minute Mattress

Introduction

Soku Minute Mattress is designed for sustainability and supports multiple recycling options after use. Organizations can either return used mattresses via their Soku supplier for circular 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 open the mattresses to release air and flatten them for easier handling.
2. Sort and Collect:
   Gather the mattresses in suitable collection bags or containers, ensuring they are free from non-recyclable contaminants.
3. Contact Local Recycling Services:
   Reach out to your municipal waste service or a local recycling partner to confirm they accept LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) film for recycling. Provide material information if required.
4. Arrange Transport:
   Deliver the collected mattresses to the designated recycling facility according to local guidelines.

Option 2: Return for Circular Supply Chain Recycling

1. Deflate and Collect:
   Cut open and deflate the used mattresses, then collect them in bigbags.
2. Coordinate with Your Soku Supplier:
   Contact your supplier to arrange the return of bigbags for recycling within the Soku supply chain.
3. Arrange Pick-Up or Delivery:
   Work with your supplier to organize transport back to the recycling facility or consolidation point.
4. Receive Confirmation:
   Request documentation from your supplier to support your sustainability reporting.

Benefits of Both Approaches

• Supports a circular economy and reduces landfill waste.
• Gives organizations flexibility to choose the most practical and sustainable option.
• Facilitates compliance with environmental and reporting requirements.
