We’ve been working hard to develop this innovation, and continue to look at new ways we can make better sustainable solutions and choices – not just for Hypnos, but for the bed and furniture industry as a whole.
Richard Naylor, sustainability director at Hypnos, comments: “We’re extremely proud of our sustainability credentials, and it’s Hypnos’ commitment to creating ethical solutions which benefit the environment that has allowed us to invest in this revolutionary green polythene. Instead, it wants to share its innovation globally, and is calling on industries around the world to stop using single-use polythene and make the transition to this 100%-recyclable product. Indeed, Hypnos made the decision not to patent or trademark this packaging for itself.
Hypnos led the challenge by working in partnership with a specialist green polyethylene manufacturer to create the cutting-edge solution which could be a sustainability gamechanger across the entire bed and furniture industry. Furthermore, it is incredibly durable and has superior technical properties to normal polythene, performing better on puncture tests, reports Hypnos. The use of ethanol, a bi-product of sugar cane production, and recycled plastics that form a green polyethylene (a more environmentally friendly form of plastic) means the creation is carbon neutral and 100% recyclable. Sugar cane ethanol is combined with recycled plastic, which has a carbon footprint that can be up to four times lower than that of normal plastic, helping those who use it to massively reduce their carbon footprint. It comes as part of major efforts by the cutting-edge manufacturer to design its packaging from sustainable and renewable sources and eliminate the use of harmful, fossil-based products.Īt the heart of the packaging is sugar cane, a renewable and carbon dioxide-depleting resource. Leading sustainable bed manufacturer Hypnos has pioneered another groundbreaking carbon-neutral innovation which could help with carbon reduction efforts across the bed and furniture industry, in the form of sustainable bed and mattress packaging.Īfter 18 months of intensive research and development, Hypnos has successfully developed another industry first by creating a recyclable, eco-friendly packaging solution which will be used for its beds and mattresses across both its retail and contract factories.
