Abstract
Polyurethane (PU), commonly used in products like mattresses, furniture, and insulation, is often landfilled at end-of-life, especially in bulky, nondegradable forms like mattresses. This project explores industrial-scale recycling of PU foam from discarded mattresses using a split-phase glycolysis process.
