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

Introduction

Sustainability is a core value at Soku. The Soku Minute Mattress is designed to deliver comfort and hygiene while minimizing environmental impact. Every aspect, from materials to logistics, supports a cleaner and more responsible future.

Responsible Material Choices

  • Certified LDPE Foil: Each mattress is made from European LDPE foil, certified for food contact and free from harmful substances. This ensures safety for users and the environment.
  • Minimal Material Use: Each mattress uses only as much foil as needed for optimal comfort and efficiency, keeping waste to a minimum.
  • CO2 Impact per Mattress: The production of the foil required for one Soku Minute Mattress results in only 0.46 kg CO2 emissions. This value reflects the environmental impact of producing the foil for one mattress, making the footprint per mattress transparent and easy to compare.
  • Fully Recyclable: The LDPE foil can be recycled after use, supporting a circular economy and reducing landfill waste.

Efficient Production and Logistics

  • Compact Cartridge Format: Mattresses are produced and transported on a cartridge, allowing thousands of units to be delivered in a single vehicle. This reduces transport emissions and storage space.
  • On-Site Inflation: Mattresses are inflated only when needed, which eliminates unnecessary waste and ensures each mattress is fresh and hygienic.

  • Our LDPE foil supplier participates in initiatives such as Operation Clean Sweep and the Plastic Pact NL, demonstrating their commitment to reducing plastic waste and supporting industry-wide sustainability goals.
