Company overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recyc-Matelas Europe is the French leader in the dismantling of mattresses and the recycling of their components (after the dismantling, more than 95% of mattress components are recovered for reuse).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company was founded in 2010 in response to the lack of alternatives to keep used mattresses out of landfills. Recyc-Matelas Europe\u2019s business is focused in three main areas:  dismantling of mattresses and the separation of their components; recovery and sale of recyclable materials for reuse in various industries; combustion or methanization of non-recyclable waste materials to produce energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recyc-Matelas Europe has also been accredited as a work integration social enterprise since 2013, thus helping the long-term unemployed get back to work. The company currently operates four processing sites in France and one in Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
