Britain’s Leading Bed Recycler

Dreams, Britain’s leading Bed Specialist, has taken the lead in demonstrating world class corporate social responsibility with a multi million pound investment in a brand new bed recycling facility at its distribution hub in the West Midlands. 

As part of Dreams’ on-going recycling programme, the business has acquired two state of the art bed shredders.These unique machines, manufactured in Germany are a first in the UK and were commissioned by Dreams specifically to crush and shred beds and mattresses, and to separate the constituent parts so that they can all go on to be recycled.

Dreams’ first venture into this area dates back as far as 1995, when it introduced a unique old bed and mattress collection and recycling service. In the last two years alone, it has collected and recycled a staggering 65,000 beds or mattresses, a figure which is anticipated to increase dramatically with the arrival of the new shredding machines.
 
The bed frames, springs and other metallic items are melted down and re-used in the manufacture of new metal products.  The wooden bed frames are turned into mulch for multiple uses including chipboard manufacture, landscaping, children’s play areas etc.  The cardboard and paper in turn is converted into new cardboard or paper, the polythene is reconstituted to create new polythene or plastic products and fabric cut offs are used to make building insulation materials.

This significant investment will set Dreams apart from its competitors, not only by offering its customers a unique and added value service but also by demonstrating great corporate social responsibility.  Britain’s leading Bed Specialist is now also Britain’s leading bed recycler.
