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.

Researchers directed by Dr. Samanvaya Srivastava at UCLA’s Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department tested post-consumer mattress foam to understand the characteristics and variability of sample density, chemical composition, thermal, and mechanical properties. The MRC-funded project provides important information essential to tailoring recycling strategies for different foam types.
