Mattress manufacturers and retailers that do not comply with certain legal requirements in three states with mattress recycling laws could experience a disruption of sales. The Mattress Recycling Council (MRC) is hosting a seminar for retailers, manufacturers and other market attendees at the Las Vegas Market at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4 in Building B, 16th floor to discuss the Connecticut, California and Rhode Island laws and other topics.
MRC’s leadership will share highlights of the program plans that it submitted to California and Rhode Island state authorities earlier this month, provide updates on the implementation of Connecticut’s program, answer questions about each state’s law, the industry’s obligations and the consequences of non-compliance, and introduce new resources that MRC has developed to help the industry comply with the law and communicate to customers.
“Mattress manufacturers, importers and retailers all have a role in this program’s success,” said Ryan Trainer, president of MRC and the International Sleep Products Association (ISPA). “If you aren’t complying with these state laws, you run the risk of not being able to sell your products in these states. We urge market attendees to join us to learn the latest information about how these laws affect their business.”
ISPA formed MRC, a non-profit organization, to develop efficient, cost-effective and consumer friendly mattress recycling programs for all three states.
