Industry Circle: Circular Mattresses

— Invite only —

Every year, ca. 1.4 million mattresses in Austria are tossed in the trash. In Europe, that number sky rockets to over 30 million mattresses … every year! Like many products that are produced in a linear fashion, the disposal of mattresses has garnered little attention. However, with the EU’s Green Deal and Austria’s strategy for a circular economy, change is on the horizon.

This Industry Circle will serve as the kick-off for a new innovation program at Climate Lab that focuses on finding circular solutions for reducing the number of mattresses that end up in our landfills. The Matratzen Allianz from Switzerland will set the stage by presenting their experience and best practices, as well as providing some insightful prompts to get us started.

Together with a group of ca. 40 representatives from key sectors involved in the mattress industry as well as waste management, government and academia, we will work in small groups to develop first ideas for circular solutions.
