To anticipate the increase in the collection of used mattresses, comforters and pillows in France, Eco-mobilier wishes to promote the deployment of new outlets for the recycling of these products. To meet this challenge, Eco-mobilier is proposing to industrial players to launch innovation partnerships around the development of new materials, technologies and applications.
Paris, March 19, 2020 - Eco-mobilier has been collecting used mattresses since 2013 and comforters and pillows since 2018. By 2019, tonnages collected had already reached 66,000 tonnes. Eco-mobilier is keen to find new outlets for the materials derived from these used products, and is launching "innovation partnerships" with manufacturers.
"Innovation partnership

contract of duration :

made by the players to Eco-mobilier; - An operating phase, enabling Eco-mobilier to guarantee a
supply of raw materials at a fixed price agreed in advance by
.
This type of contract is particularly well-suited to emerging sectors, which
require a long-term commitment from all parties to help them emerge.
Partnership objectives
