Impact: Rethinking Recycling, Reimagining the Future
Our Circular Approach
Diverting thousands of mattresses from landfills, leading to a cleaner planet with lower carbon emissions
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from incineration
Preserving valuable landfill space
Our vision is a world where mattress waste is a thing of the past, and recycled materials are the new standard in foam production.
Environmental Benefits
Significant cost savings for customers by eliminating the mandate to pay highly subsidized landfill fees and duties of processing landfill waste
Creating a new market for recovered polyol
Producing high quality, value-added, recovered polyols and high-performance PU foam products, without down-cycling the waste.
Supporting a circular, sustainable ecosystem in the foam industry
Canada aims to take global leadership in reducing plastic waste by targeting the total recovery of used plastics by 2035. This requires a circular economy where used plastics are fully reintegrated into the production cycle.
Economic Advantages
Building a circular economy for plastics requires the collective action of multiple companies across the supply chain rather than relying on individual efforts. CyclePlastix, leveraging its expertise in product development and industry connections, aims to engage North American manufacturers facing high scrap rates or challenges with recycled materials.
A crucial partnership has been formed with a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Canada that specializes in dismantling used PU foam mattresses. This collaboration ensures a steady supply of ready-to-process feedstock, which is essential for closing the loop in plastic recycling. Additionally, alliances with 2 prominent North American research laboratories will enhance innovations in PU foam formulations and provide essential testing services.
This strategic approach not only addresses recycling challenges but also promotes the effective use of resources, aiming to close the loop in plastic waste management and contribute to a sustainable circular economy.
