01 — The supplier

A production stream,
not an occasional parcel

Recycle Group Pty Ltd is an Australian recycling and resource recovery business based at 116 Furner Avenue, North Geelong, Victoria 3215, Australia. The group operates a number of specialist recycling businesses, including The Mattress Recycling Company.

The Mattress Recycling Company currently processes approximately 12,000 to 30,000 mattresses per month, and these volumes continue to increase. Our spring steel is recovered directly from that process — a consistent, single-source Australian recycled steel stream generated by our own facility, not an occasional parcel of mixed scrap.

Because the material comes from one controlled process rather than the open market, the grade, the contamination level and the monthly tonnage stay predictable from container to container.
