We are most interested in proposals focused on proving the technical feasibility of an innovation for achieving the targeted use for the recycled material.
We are unlikely to fund proposals to incinerate the reclaimed materials but might be interested in those that convert the material into new or synthetic fuels.
We are unlikely to fund projects to further develop research topics already receiving funding or that focus on existing uses of reclaimed mattress materials.

The research also showed that the recycled foam actually outperformed virgin polyurethane materials and it has the potential of using thousands of tons of mattress foam per year.
