What creates an industry ?
….the need for a change

What is the need ?
With 314 million people in the US in 2013, the population will throw away:
13 248 000 cubic yards of wasted mattresses5 244 000 cubic yards of box spring space
A loss in revenue of over 900 million dollars will be disposed of in landfill. Those losses are indirectly transferred to the cities and their residents

Wasted Materials
Metal: 348 000 Tons Wood: 174 000 TonsPolyurethane: 87 000 TonsQuilting: 78 000 TonsCotton: 61 000 TonsFelt: 61 000 TonsPlastic: 17 000 TonsTotal: 826 000 Tons

What needs to be done ?
Companies like ours get involved with legislation and speak out to promote the benefits of recycling
