February 4, 2025.  VIDEO: BedShred mattress recycling with a metal shredder. Steel from boxsprings and mattresses is shredded at Nine Lives Recycling in Pamplico, SC, sent to a local scrap yard, and then processed at a smelter.

February 7, 2023. Mattress Recycling Council Discusses Life Cycle Analysis

An independent life cycle analysis of the Mattress Recycling Council’s California operations found significant environmental benefit from the program including substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions along with water and energy usage.

The life cycle analysis found that MRC is a carbon negative operation and has other favorable environmental benefits.

This study found that recycling 1.6 million mattresses in 2021:

• Displaced 75 million pounds greenhouse gas emissions; or the emissions reduction if there were 98 million fewer miles driven. For context, the EPA estimates that there were 340 billion miles driven in California in 2021.
• Saved 174,000 kilowatt hours or the amount of power it would take to light a community of 17,000 for one year.
• Saved 818 million gallons of water or the annual consumption of 7,500 households.
