The Australian Bedding Stewardship Council (ABSC) is an industry sponsored entity established to continue the development of the Recycle My Mattress Product Stewardship Scheme. This development is funded by ABSC members and the Australian Government.

To ensure the Scheme is robust and supported by Industry we are inviting the Mattress and Bedding Industry, Waste and Resource Recovery Industry, Government and associated stakeholders to join us at an online consultation session in November 2021 to discuss and improve the proposed design of the expanded Scheme.

The ABSC will be seeking feedback from key stakeholders on:

Challenges and opportunities within the proposed design of the expanded Scheme
Issues needing further information or consultation
The proposed Product Stewardship Fee and rebates

We would like to secure participants' in-principle agreement on the Scheme design to then progress a submission to the ACCC in December 2021.

Six online consultation sessions are being held for specific stakeholder groups. If you can't attend your group session, or don't fit a group category, you are welcome to join our final session. Please only register for one session.
