The Mattress Recycling Council (MRC), the manufacturer-run stewardship organization which operates the Bye Bye Mattress recycling program in Connecticut, California, and Rhode Island, seeks proposals for recycled materials market development (open through 2020) and life cycle analysis of mattress recycling (due by Nov. 6, 2020). MRC, which has recycled 6 million mattresses since its first program began five years ago, invests $1 million annually in recycling research and improvement projects.
