Mattresses.  We all have them.  We all hate to see them dumped on the side
of the road or in fields.  Another option is sending them to the landfill.
The Product Stewardship Institute is hosting a free webinar on April 13,
2023 11:00 - 12:30 p.m. EST.   During this webinar, we'll hear from a range
of stakeholders and discuss: successes and lessons learned from the
existing U.S. mattress Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws and
programs, updates on the new Oregon mattress EPR law, and emerging policy
and best practices in mattress stewardship.

More than 50,000 mattresses are discarded each day in the U.S. Much of this
bulky, cumbersome waste ends up in the nation’s landfills and imposes
significant costs on local governments for its management. Less than five
percent of mattresses are recycled annually, despite the fact that up to 90
percent of mattress components are recyclable.

Reusing, renovating, and recycling, rather than landfilling, unwanted
mattresses can reduce reliance on disposal, recover valuable materials to
make other products (including steel, carpet pad, animal bedding, mulch,
new textiles, and fibers), create jobs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws for mattresses have the
capacity to spur substantial increases in recycling rates and reduce
illegal dumping, particularly when legislation includes performance goals
and/or collection site convenience metrics. In 2013, Connecticut became the
first state in the country to enact a mattress EPR law, followed by
California and Rhode Island that same year. Last year, Oregon enacted the
first U.S. EPR mattress law in almost a decade, building on the existing
three laws.

What have we learned that can help these and future programs achieve the
greatest impact? During this webinar, we'll hear from a range of
stakeholders and discuss: successes and lessons learned from the existing
U.S. mattress EPR laws and programs, updates on the new Oregon mattress EPR
law, and emerging policy and best practices in mattress stewardship.
