USEL (Ulster Supported Employment Limited) is a social enterprise which aims to help people with disabilities and health-related conditions into employment. One of the ways it does this is to recycle old mattresses, preventing them from going to landfill and separating the different components within mattresses to aid further recycling.
USEL’s mattress recycling process separates different components to create distinct waste streams:
The foam component presented a particular challenge due to its space-inefficient nature, requiring specialised equipment to handle this bulky waste material effectively.
Gradeall provided a Multi Materials Baler to deal specifically with the foam waste from mattress recycling. This specialised equipment transforms loose foam into very dense bales, dramatically improving storage and transportation efficiency.
The Multi Materials Baler handles multiple waste streams generated at USEL’s facility:
This versatility makes USEL one of the very few facilities that can deal with waste mattresses in such a comprehensive way, effectively preventing mattresses from going to landfill.
The Gradeall Multi Materials Baler was specified with an optional loading platform which makes it much easier to load foam into the upper door of the baler. The system features:
This versatile baler is capable of processing a wide range of materials:
USEL’s mattress recycling operation with the Multi Materials Baler delivers significant environmental benefits:
Landfill Diversion: Prevents complete mattresses from entering landfill sites Material Recovery: Enables separation and recycling of valuable components Waste Stream Optimisation: Creates manageable bales from bulky materials Resource Conservation: Supports circular economy principles through material reuse
“We required a baler to deal with the foam from mattresses and Gradeall sold us their multiple materials baler, tailored to suit our needs and with a very useful loading platform. The process was very smooth and performed very professionally. We are delighted to have the baler.”
The success at USEL demonstrates the versatility of multi materials baling technology across various applications:
