[@TheDaf95xf]

It’s a small start to save the planet 🌍 in our thro away society......😩 Well done 👍

[@versantmj]

this company still around?

[@seneca983]

Seems so. Or at least their website is active. www.retourmatras.nl/

[@mykedago655]

Part of Al Gore's global warming initiative recycled bed bugs

[@FourDollaRacing]

All Gore has no say in the EU. Get a fucking clue....

[@chechnya]

@@FourDollaRacing Oh please, the EU is America's puppet

[@MadMax-yq9ix]

So urine, shit, sex juice covered, and vomit covered mattresses don't get any form of cleaning just chopped up and reused? 😨 -vomits-

[@commonsense8036]

I was also wondering why the mattresses are first put on the conveyor that takes them up and over. At first it didn't make any sense. I think it's to give time for all the bed bugs to jump to their death below and to give time for all the human excrement, piss, cum, period-blood, dried boogers, toenail clippings, belly-button lint, ass cheese, ear wax, pubes, eye crustys, slobber, puke, vaginal discharge, cookie crumbs/pizza crusts/popcorn, and to possibly air out all the fart gas from making tents on girlfriends. Oh, I almost forgot popped zits/blackheads! I'd hate to be the chump that has to sweep that area...

[@Xer06siX]

Dude, why don't they just dump them directly into the machine? What was the point of the conveyor belt ramp thingy? I know, WOW. I'm critiqueing a mattress video, moving on. But still, that first belt is pointless.

[@FourDollaRacing]

Because! The farts must, first, be aerated from the mattresses! And, the gas is then collected, to power the conveyor system! All very green technology, you see....

[@hairymarmite6419]

That's in case your recycling plant is either side of a canal

[@davidschmidt6013]

Don't forget, this vid must have been made right after they opened the place. Look how spotless it is!

[@michaelovitch]

Textile is not reused in the textile industry. It just becomes rags,at best with clothes,because it's a thin material. Here it will just burnt : too thick,too dirty,too much work to reuse it.

[@toomanymarys7355]

Apparently polyester is turned to polyester chip. Learn something new every day!

[@VyseAcher]

Is there a net profit in the process at this time, or does it currently require subsidies for use?

[@Bacoprah]

Holland has a lot of subsidies for recycling/reusing materials. Very 'green' country and initiatives thar are all funded by the sale of Natural Gas to other European countries.

[@ImranZakhaev9]

I would guess the steel would cover the minimal cost to run the facility, but wages and covering the startup cost would likely have to be subsidized

[@RobbieStott]

In australia its about $25 to dump a mattess at the tip. So thatd go towards recycling I guess.

[@fordmanmal]

I don't see why the crane doesn't drop the mattress straight onto the 2nd conveyor the first seems pointless just goes up then back down again...

[@TheJiminiflix]

+fordmanmal I thought the same! lol

[@lego4av]

FordManMal maybe they like it that way

[@danielrose1392]

The up/down is an access pathway to the interior area.

[@DefiantOrderCA]

same thought. that sucker will never show any use... lol

[@joelmartin2549]

FordManMal, the whole machine looks pointless!

[@davidhead5943]

North Carolina don't recycle anymore ...they said it's to expensive and the workers cry about wanting more money !!!! It's B.S.

[@lonemonaro1455]

How do you treat infectious contaminants and pathogens contained within mattresses.

[@alexanter4307]

They don't......and as they said after is resaled to companies who make new sofas 🤮😷

[@jcman240]

This video makes me sleepy

[@punkdevito]

..bed bugs Urine Body stains Smells Poop Blood. Dust mites Roaches Etc. How is the recycle fabric and foam cleaned? Most important part

[@Mindraker1]

Biodegradable sperm stains!

[@isaacsprenger9940]

punkdevito squirt juice

[@ThisMyMemeAccount]

Its bleached afterwards by whoever is buying the bales of material before reaching the consumer.

[@AnthonyHandcock]

Remember... Wool is full of sheep shit when it arrives at the factory and it probably has ticks, mites, fleas and lice in it too. As for the substrate they grow mushrooms on... The least said the better.

[@Joshua79C]

If the chemical cleaners do not do the whole job then the fact they steam the mold to glue the pieces together should kill what ever disease or other foul matter remains just to make blocks and cut into sheets for such uses as carpet underlayment and not made into new mattress foam like some ignoramuses like you assume or think.

[@trumpstroll7438]

The company who received those materials are the ones that clean them.

[@FurbyGender]

People from yesteryears would be impressed by equipment like this.

[@toomanymarys7355]

You should compare this to the first shoddy factory!!!!! (First wool recycling.)

[@mr.motormaster9881]

so they RECYCLE all that dirty crap

[@VikingRul3s]

Yes and they of cause CHEMICALLY CLEAN the material. Just like it's more then likely the case with your own toilet papers core roll and i'm guessing you actually use the last few pieces of paper an intime place, despite it having touched recycled cardboard/paper? (A late) welcome to the new millennium bro ;) P.S. Image if they didn't chemically clean it. That factory would be shut down the first time an old junkys mattress was run though the system. Bedbuks would also be a common "bonus" from that factory

[@AffordBindEquipment]

bedbugs can be recycled?!

[@lostintime8651]

and the bedbugs go to the food industry.

[@JimWhitaker]

Good video - informative script. Thank you.

[@robertstubbs1139]

It seems a waste of time all that machinery to produce nothing but piles of different Things it didn't show what they did with it .

[@GenkiDamaSSJ]

Are the markets for recycled latex and polyurethane robust?

[@dougrogan379]

Genki Dama yes where do you think condoms come from?

[@rayamundson8394]

DO YOU recycle bed bug ,,, throw up on,,, mold,,, urine,,,baby pooped on mattresses ? OH YA,, that"s the mattress i always wanted.

[@jenniferjuniper97]

I prefer to have humans recycle my stuff. We need jobs.

[@btx5740]

Yup the next time you stay in a hotel / motel your probably sleeping on a used mattres* *(Remember to leave off the last S for savings)

[@Jimmy-lk1dh]

Just think how many people got laid on these mattresses. Wow, more than our national debt! Gotta get some lol in this crazy year. To bad Trump wan’t recycled

[@MrButtonpresser]

I just throw my old mattresses into the 2CV that’s always found in a nearby skip.

[@daveolliemetalhead]

Great video not many people working in that plant I’ve been in a mattress business all my life in the 80s beds use the last 20 30 years now A lot of these manufacturers mattresses that manufacture fall apart in a year

[@Hattinchannel]

Who is the machinery supplier

[@beakytwitch7905]

The idea of reusing polyurethane foam from old mattresses to upholster furniture is not one that would occur to me ! What about the mites and other disease-causing pollutants ? ...

[@ke5wl804]

The mattress spends more time riding around all those conveyors and accomplishing nothing. Start the process at the door.

[@grimreaper3526]

must have such a nice smell on yer clothes afterwork & for the rest of yer life

[@ray210rodriguez9]

it looks really expensive to operate and even buy metal wight rebate ,who buys used fabric ? and if they do like a penny a pound

[@hornetobiker]

Bet it's a smelly workplace.

[@Fultonfalcons86]

Jeez man look at those love spots lol and the bed bugs ...........

[@musicbox8351]

ah jee rick jeezzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@JoeSmith-eq6ny]

what do you do with the bed bugs

[@tIReDofConVErsaTIoN]

I wonder about the efficiency of the machine.

[@MikSrf723]

Seems like a lot of unnecessary conveyor belt.

[@bryant6524]

Is there a bed bug detector also?

[@meeksde]

Parts? Spelled with a “c”. Kool

[@davidjames666]

“Parks” not “Parts”

[@2layz2p57]

Gotta wonder how much money they have found in the mattresses.

[@RobbieStott]

how does it sort the types of foam?

[@daleolson3506]

Must be government subsidized,doesn't make any sense.

[@MegaMarclar]

Makes me cringe... knowing what some of those stains are from... recycled breeding fluids...YUMMY

[@terrystephens1102]

We need more of this 👍

[@Rick-pi9zn]

*Matress Dissambly should be the title

[@videoibi]

delivery in Brazil?

[@davidjames666]

old mattresses = a lot of urine and DNA

[@musicbox8351]

much faster then by hand

[@rosewhite---]

lots of conveyors before any action?

[@charlesgros3548]

That plant must be part time because you mean to tell me they pick up that many mattresses in a day or week to have that plant running full-time plus that crane could have been much smaller to pick up one mattress at a time that's a waste of money

[@royalestationary9126]

We are interested in pu foam scrap

[@jennyfarmer6817]

Im from England

[@NeutronX101]

Every company that makes goods should be required by law to recycle their garbage or spend money to have it recycled. They reap the rewards they should clean up after too.

[@davidlefort4553]

Awsom that's what I love to see recycling

[@kontrop6339]

what about bedbugs?

[@deniseh8932]

i was thinking about house dust mite also

[@mohamedrafi5807]

Bedbugs will be separately collected in special bags, then export to Thailand, it is special food 🥘 for them.

[@wilbur2255]

Mohamed Rafi nah the bedbugs leave because it is no longer a bed so they don't have to worry about them.

[@vahakna]

I hope chemical will killing bedbug

[@mikewallace2171]

They probably Underdog gamma ray process to kill dust mites and bed bugs

[@conanjam]

Need to have that throughout the u.s.

[@wladimirgrimailov1380]

Вторая серия будет?

[@jonglewongle3438]

That is partially closed loop. It goes into filling and insulation. Some of it goes from matras to furniture. It should be made manditory for it to be re-shredded and processed back into matresses. The metal scrap industry would appreciate all that steel in that volume and as unmixed as that. They won't mind that, and they would not give a stuff as to where that's been, and nor would it matter.

[@kidddee544]

How is this recycled material sterilized? It just get put in a new sofa, with human waste on it? How are the bed bugs filtered out?

[@xclimatexcoldxx]

That really really looks like they waste a lot of electricity for nothing.

[@briansokoloski776]

They got some metal a bit of money not enough to pay the rent on the factory warehouse

[@warpedbeyondhelp]

It must cost a fortune to recycle a mattress looking at the machinery and the snails pace at which it operates.

[@MrB1923]

In sure they just did all this by guessing. They didn't make a plan or do any calculations.

[@vv720]

플랜트가 있고 사람 욕심이 있으면 혼자 다처먹으려는 사람이 있을 경우의수가 있다 그래서 플랜트가 있으면 이를 경계해야 한다

[@lemonade86]

Is there an issue with hazardous/restricted substances in mattresses (e.g. banned flame retardants)? Is there a step to filter these out?

[@kennethmccann6402]

I purchased a new mattress then I received alive ghost in my home now and someone is murder from recycled mattress ! ! !

[@desktorp]

Almost all the comments express disgust at the lack of a cleaning process.

[@peterherrington3300]

Recycled material from a nursing home goes into my brand new new (3 grand) sofa without sterilisation ? Glad I watched that !

[@bond1j89]

Peter Herrington This setup is about separation, the company that buys the reclaimed materials. Will be the one to sterilize the material before use.

[@David-js4wd]

Did I watch a 30ton digger used to lift a mattress?

[@danialholt4174]

Recycled pee.

[@MegaMarclar]

"Oh look dear, the piss stain insulation is on sale today"

[@13antoanto]

that does not look efficient at all ! $80k+ crane for one matters at a time ? , long and slow belts lines ? warehouse bigger that most mattress producing warehouse ? , I guess NZ business is very subsidize..............

[@danielrose1392]

When you see long conveyors, most of the time they work as a buffer. Here, I assume it allows them to operate both the metal and non metal line at full capacity, even if you are unable to put them on a conveyor in alternating sequence. It is NL, not NZ. Subsidies are very low and labor is expensive.

[@MrB1923]

Your a dumb American, aren't you?

[@MrB1923]

13antoanto .nl is the Netherlands. That's Holland. It's in the country of Europe. On the continent of Africa. On the Moon.

[@zoltanberkes8559]

MrB1923 Europe is a continent. Netherland is in Europe, not in Africa.

[@zoltanberkes8559]

Sandy Lee Arnold Schwarzenegger was born and grew up in Austria, which is in Central Europe. And not in Australia, which is a continent on the other hemisphere of the planet. Netherland it in Europe too, that's why Arnold knows about is. Actually, both are states of the European Union.

[@RobbyWorld1]

Actual sound would be way better than music.

[@julianevans5522]

Lets put 15 unnecessary conveyors in this factory, and charge an extra 2 million, ok

[@BackyardFamilyBuilds]

Bed bugs and all 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[@wash_dogs5684]

can they recycle the potato they filmmed this video with

[@robcunningham7837]

What about bugs? How do you get rid of bed bugs?

[@Relbac3]

Please provide web site and sales support information. I am very interested in this Automated recycling plant.

[@pecheur1951]

Five years late but: www.retourmatras.nl/

[@neptune4167]

This is disgusting. Reuse textiles on a mattress?!! I cant imagine what is collected in the fabric of mattresses. Dont sell me any fabric from recycled mattresses.

[@Joshua79C]

This like any other sorting center such as metal recycling and resellers to overseas refiners is just a sorting facility, the refiner and reuser is responsible for sterilization, not to mention its uses stem to blue the bits to one another, I watch videos of waste new material being processed into block to make carpet cushion pads.

[@tiborf538]

How much you pay for the equipment body ? hahahahaha

[@nubi78]

There is no way this is real. I found laughs though!

[@rickdevault2535]

Yuck. I don't want other people's skin mites, farts, menstruals leftovers bed bugs and whatever else that crawls out of us people and pets made into not new products for my home.

[@ImranZakhaev9]

You mean like... to be steamed, sanitized, and then laid under you carpet? Oh the humanity! They're not turning these into new mattresses. 200 IQ

[@bigpappahemi4263]

I bet that place stinks!

[@helenhelps9619]

Bedbug factory.

Please explain how this process sanitizes all this material.

[@bond1j89]

[@matt7368]

They recycle the latex mattresses to make condoms. Lol

[@Joshua79C]

Not have I ever found latex condoms made from any amount of recycled latex, ever.

[@matt7368]

Joshua79C C yeah cause after you read past ‘small’ on the pack you stopped reading.

[@piktor6494]

I peed on my mattress.. will they recycling my pee too?

[@ryanfisher6402]

Too quiet

[@justDIY]

Please tell me there is an electron-beam or cobalt-60 sterilization step somewhere in this process.

[@KnuckleFreak]

This is a great idea and all, but we're is the sterilization process?? This is very risky business if the stuff isn't properly sterilized.

[@markfoundas6446]

Truly amazing!

[@jimrodia8698]

And they’re using all the old pissy materials to stuff new furniture

[@ssweeps]

Bad idea to recycle stained mattresses. Yuck.

[@ArgosWarrior]

This is why you should always burn your old mattresses, recycle them my arse.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

I support all the negative commentors, they think in the right ways!

[@1Dougloid]

What have you done with the bedbugs? If it's not sterilized I don't want any of this anywhere near me.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Disgusting !! How about the mattress where it is covered in a dead body's crap or blood or, geez , food etc. ? I'm sure you guys find money , drugs and weapons in some of the of the mattresses? I hope they don't reuse that shit in a new mattress without letting the consumer know !

[@stingr5626]

Would it be much more easier of put the mattress right away with the crane or when the unload the truck because that convarebelt is useless the one that takes the mattresses to the metal detector. And I can go on saying what is useless in the factory and also how they can save money and energy.

[@okkrom]

I see 2 obvious reasons; 1-For pacing/timing. You cant throw a bunch of mattresses in an uncontrolled way and have the machines and conveyors work properly. 2-It gives the crane room to put 6-8 mattress in a row(keeps him working instead of waiting on a machine to finish) and the operator does not have to worry to much about how he drops it, the conveyor aligns it.

[@stingr5626]

yea I see your reason

[@billpbritt]

I'm all in for recycling but maybe they need to show how they become decontaminated.

[@janvanruth3485]

they are a heavily subsidized outfit, trying to sell their equipment and expertise once the subsidies stop they will fold immediately as their is no market for the machinery other than with huge taxpayers contributions

[@rogermoore8977]

This is where bed bugs go on vacation.

[@417flop]

How you get sex juices out?
