Circular Mattress Workshop

A highlight of the event will be the Circular Mattress Workshop (Thursday, January 23rd). As part of the event, Nick will give a presentation into TFR Group’s story, highlighting the scale of the mattress recycling problem, why the problem isn’t going away anytime soon and why the circular economy is the future. 

Nick Oettinger said, “It’s a pleasure to be a part of SHIFT Switzerland 2020 and the cutting-edge circular economy business models and solutions they inspire. I’m happy to do my part by speaking alongside the people driving these innovations.”   

The aim of TFR Group is to automate the mattress recycling process to give the accuracy of segregation of materials and reduce the cost of recycling. This, in turn, will allow more mattresses to be diverted from landfills.  

The Swiss Plastics Expo and SHIFT 2020 take place between Tuesday 21st and Thursday 23rd of January and you can purchase your tickets here.
