Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recycling furniture containing wooden parts, in particular bed bases, the method comprising the following steps: a step (20) of grinding the wooden parts to form ground wood; a mixing step (22) in which a mixture is prepared, the mixture comprising a predetermined quantity of bi-component fibers; a step (24) of forming a non-consolidated web of material from the mixture; a step (26) of thermally consolidating the non-consolidated web of material; a step (27) of calendering the consolidated web of material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a facility for disinfecting bedding items, in particular mattresses or cushions, the facility (30) including: a device (38) for generating microwaves which is capable of being selectively activated in order to expose the bedding item to microwave radiation, the power of which is 40 kW to 100 kW, a member (66) for controlling the microwave-generating device (38), programmed to activate the microwave-generating device (38) for an exposure time suitable for maintaining the central layer of the bedding item at a temperature of more than 70° C. for a predetermined period of time that is longer than 45 seconds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cleaning up recycled materials that result front the recycling of furniture, the method comprising the following steps: a step of providing recycled materials that result from the recycling of furniture, these materials containing an initial quantity of at least one chemical compound from the following list: VOCs (volatile organic compounds), formaldehyde, dimethylformamide, chlorophenol; a step of grinding the recycled materials; a thermal treatment step, during which the ground recycled materials are brought to a temperature of greater than 150° C., the ground recycled materials having, after the thermal treatment step, a final quantity of said chemical compound which is less than the initial quantity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recycling furniture materials, in particular mattress, bed base, and seat materials, the method comprising the following steps: a breakup step, in which base materials are obtained by breaking up the bedding element; a sorting step (18), in which the base materials are separated into a plurality of families of materials according to the nature of the base materials; a step (20) for grinding the different families of materials; a mixing step (22), in which a mixture is prepared, the mixture comprising a predetermined amount of at least one family of ground materials; a step (24) for forming a sheet of non-woven unconsolidated material from the mixture; a step (27) for consolidating the non-woven unconsolidated sheet of material; a step for calendering the non-woven consolidated sheet of material.
