Zero Waste Scotland has appointed Enscape Consulting to carry out research, including an online survey, as part of a programme of work to develop a robust evidence base that informs the next steps for the development of product stewardship plans for mattresses.  These plans will consider the potential for extending the lifespan of products and improve reprocessing and disposal practices of mattresses, all of which are essential for advancing a circular economy and achieving net zero targets.

This work entails us engaging with organisations working in the following sectors, with individual surveys for each of these, the links shown below:

• Mattress manufacturers and retailers - survey here.
• Mattress reuse organisations - survey here.
• Recycling organisations - survey here.
• Local authorities providing collection infrastructure for end-of-life mattresses - survey here.

This survey will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete and the answers you provide will assist Zero Waste Scotland in the development of future plans.

If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please contact Brian Menzies of Enscape using either of the details below - he will be happy to assist:

• Mobile: 0775 270 0939
• Email: brianmenzies@enscapeconsulting.com

The response you give is anonymous unless you give us permission (at the end) to contact you.  Any data collected as part of this survey will be managed in line with the privacy and data policies of the Enscape Consulting which can be found here.
