he main goal is to recycle used mattresses and create secondary products. We aim to achieve the recycling of about 30,000 mattresses per year, which will contribute to the environment, unload the capacity of landfills, avoid the growth of household waste fees and for the development of the circular economy. In the short term, we strive for partnerships with municipalities, as well as with interested organizations and institutions. The long-term plan is to build a chemical plant for polyurethane recycling and create new products from recyclates.

Rematrak's target group is households, owners and managers of hotels and other accommodation facilities, manufacturers and traders of mattresses, municipal structures: kindergartens, hospitals, homes, etc. To reach them, we conduct information campaigns, meetings, participate in various exhibitions and thematic events related to a sustainable lifestyle, ecology and recycling, as well as in events concerning municipalities and various branch organizations.

The project started as "Demonstration project for preparation for reuse and recycling of used mattresses", financed under procedure: BG16M1OP002-2.009 "Implementation of demonstration projects in the field of waste management", with funds from Operational Program "Environment 2014-2020" , co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund of the European Union. To date, Rematrak continues as a business project.

Rematrak was presented during TEDxVitosha COUNTDOWN ’23, at the IR Awards 2022, at the Municipal EXPO `2022, etc. events. We organized an Open Day at our base in the village of Petarch, which was followed by a number of media appearances and publications. It was awarded in the Start-up category at the Bright Awards – Be Green, Be Bio 2023.

From the start of the project until today, we have held a number of meetings and conversations, organized and participated in various events, and become recognizable. We have managed to position ourselves in sustainable industries as a company with future and potential. We expanded the scope of activity from Southwest Bulgaria to the entire country. We gathered information and learned from similar industries in France, the Netherlands and Germany. We started working with a scientist from BAS in the direction of generating a secondary product. By working on the project, I expanded my knowledge in the field of recycling, ESG and circular economy.
