Dreams's video: Our Recycling Service

Firstly, we disassemble your mattress. All the different materials are separated and compacted into large bales to help save space when we transport to other recycling destinations. We send metal springs to a metal recycling plant where they are melted down into new light iron products. Polyester padding is used by the fibre blending industry and can be used in various things, even the fillings in your pet’s cushions! The foam in your mattress is used in either energy from waste generation or it can be cleaned and used to make carpet underlay. It’s difficult to recycle mattress covers due to hygiene, so they are turned into fuel as an alternative to fossil fuels, creating green energy and heat. We are constantly working alongside our recycling partner to research and explore new uses for the parts of your mattress. Find out more at https://www.dreams.co.uk/recycling-services
