In U.S. each year an estimated 18 million mattresses with box springs are disposed, resulting in approximately 50,000 mattresses a day ending up in landfills across America. With a goal of zero waste to landfill, IKEA U.S. announced recycling all of its used mattresses, this includes old mattresses (any brand) that are picked up when new IKEA mattresses are delivered. As much recycling as possible will take place to keep with its sustainability strategy of ‘waste to resources.’
