The Australian Bedding Stewardship Council (ABSC) is a not-for-profit entity that was established in 2020 to tackle the problem of end-of-life mattresses and keep them out of landfill. The ABSC administers the Bedding Stewardship Scheme (the Scheme) and works with Australian bedding industry manufacturers, importers, retailers, recyclers, supply chain and all levels of government to transition to circular economy practices.
The Scheme, is a voluntary industry-led product stewardship scheme launched in 2023 after many years of consultation with the Australian bedding industry. The immediate purpose of the Scheme is to:
- grow industry participation and commitment;
- increase the diversion of mattresses and bedding materials from landfill;
- establish a national recycling network for mattresses; and
- raise public awareness about the issues surrounding end-of-life mattresses.
As industry participation grows, the Scheme aims to:
- foster more circular economy principles (see graphic below);
- create a standard practice of facilitating recycling of discarded mattresses;
- create new job opportunities; and
- consider adding other bedding products to the Scheme.
