Overview
Breaking the product stewardship mould.
Janelle Wallace, Soft Landing Mattress Recycling
Details
The Soft Landing Mattress Product Stewardship Scheme is an embryonic scheme that has defied tradition, its development being driven by a bedding manufacturer and a social enterprise recycler. A H Beard and Soft Landing brought together a range of stakeholders including other manufacturers, retailers, all levels of government and upstream and downstream supply chain to formalise their common environmental and social objectives.
The speaker would like to share the nuances of a scheme administered by a social enterprise, and the challenges and opportunities it is experiencing as food for thought to other industries exploring product stewardship.
