This project aims to enhance the capacity and improve strategies for dismantling waste mattresses. It involves the implementation of waste mattress recycling as part of related waste disposal operations. The project conducts data collection and analysis, investigative research, and expert conferences to analyze and propose solutions for domestic waste mattress recycling and processing. It also compiles and estimates data and analyzes the feasibility of implementing diversified recycling methods. The project encompasses several tasks and methods, including: 1. On-site investigations: Visiting three crusher manufacturers, 60 environmental companies and resource recovery facilities, one Tzu Chi Environmental Protection Station, ten furniture associations, three SRF manufacturing facilities, and eleven mattress manufacturing plants. 2. Expert conferences: Holding three expert conferences. 3. Analysis of diversified recycling and processing: Exploring the conversion of waste spring mattress fillings into SRF, developing green design plans, and assessing the feasibility of the recycling program announcement. 4. Integration of basic capacity data and estimation: Estimating mattress production, sales, and waste quantities, as well as estimating the collection and processing quantities of waste spring mattresses. 5. Promotion of dismantling techniques and capacity improvement strategies for waste mattresses: Planning dedicated waste spring mattress treatment facilities, analyzing waste spring mattress recycling models and fee rate models for removal and processing. 6. Support operations related to waste disposal announcement: Developing management regulations for waste spring mattress collection and processing, creating audit certification operation manuals, and establishing regulations for responsible waste disposal operators. 7. Negotiation meetings with stakeholders: Conducting two meetings. Currently, waste spring mattresses in the country are primarily handled by county and city cleaning teams. However, manual dismantling is time-consuming and expensive, and the cost of crushing equipment is prohibitive for many counties and cities, resulting in slow processing. The existing disposal system by cleaning teams cannot meet the current demand and the annual rate of waste generation. Additionally, the characteristics of mattresses, such as their difficulty in removal, processing, and long-term decomposition, necessitate the implementation of waste spring mattress recycling. By collecting fees through the recycling program, extending producer responsibility, and stabilizing the income source for mattress recycling and processing, the project aims to support the sustainability of the system and promote green development in the waste spring mattress resource recycling and processing system.
