Hilton introduces mattress recycling

Hilton Worldwide has launched a mattress recycling program with more than 85% of each mattress turned into new products ranging from steel springs for tools and automobiles, to wood for flooring and shelving and cotton fibers for oil filters.

Launched in coordination with the installation of new mattresses and box springs, hotels can report and track the progress of its mattress donation and provide additional items during room renovations to Good360, a program that helps identify local nonprofits in need of cased goods.

“Our hotels have purchased more than 50,000 mattresses in the past two years in the US alone,” said Randy Gaines, vice president, engineering operations for the Americas at Hilton Worldwide. “This program presents a great opportunity for our hotels globally, offers a cost savings to owners and underscores Hilton Worldwide’s commitment to further reduce our waste output.”

Last month, Hilton Worldwide reported its 2011 results and announced it has achieved its five-year goal to reduce waste by 20%, two years ahead of schedule.
