Description:

We are looking for innovators! The Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) invests $1 million annually in research to increase the recyclability of mattresses and find new end markets for used mattress components. More than 50,000 mattresses a day are discarded in the U.S. Through recycling, more than 75% of the components from used mattresses can be remade into new products or uses, diverting valuable material from the waste stream. In this webinar, learn about MRC’s open research funding opportunities and how you can apply. The webinar will also provide an overview of MRC and its statewide recycling operations in the U.S. as well as the strategic goals and priorities of MRC’s research program and recent success stories. We will answer questions and provide tips for submitting a request for proposal and discuss our process and timeline for awards. Don’t miss it! Learn more.
