Recycling Used Mattresses Every year, millions of mattressesare discarded, often ending up in landfills, adding to the problem of wastemanagement. However, thanks to modern technology, it is possible to recover andreuse most of the materials from which they are made, helping to reduce theenvironmental impact.
For mattress recycling, Stokkermill offers the Stokkermill D-series twin-shaft shredder, a highly efficient and indispensable solution in the production process. This powerful and highly reliable tool is able to reduce the volume of mattresses. Thanks to its robustness and versatility, thetwin-shaft shredder guarantees optimal treatment of even the most resistant materials, such as metal springs and foam padding.
Stokkermill offers advanced solutions for mattress recyclingwith its D-series twin-shaft shredders. However, for complete shredding andeffective separation of materials, a number of machines are required to form acomplete processing line. This line includes pre-shredders, secondaryshredders, magnetic separators for metal recovery, and screening systems forsorting materials by type and size. The integration of these technologiesallows for an efficient and sustainable process that optimizes resource recovery.
The recycling process begins with the shredding of the mattress to separate the various components, such as the fabric, polyurethane foam, latex and metal parts. These materials are then treated in specialized plants to be reintroduced into the production cycle, for example, the foam can be transformed into new materials for the furniture industry, while the metal springs can be remelted and reused in the metallurgical sector.
