Abstract

Mattresses constitute a problematic waste fraction. A farbetter recycling of mattresses would ensure less incineration and thereby reduce the CO2 emissions. In the autumn of 2021, the Municipality of Copenhagen, Odsherred Municipality, Vejle Municipality, ARC, Vestforbrænding, ARGO, and the Capital Region established a partnership for circular solutions for mattresses. Since 2022, Bramming Plast Industri, Danfoam/Tempur-Sealy, and DTU Sustain have also joined as partners. DTU Sustain are responsible for evaluating data, citizen behavior, and solutions for collection challenges regarding mattresses in the research project. A recently conducted pilot test shows promising results, but also highlights the need for specific solutions for collection via recycling facilitiesand bulky waste collection.
