Soft Landing Perth Wins 2025 WasteSorted “Closing the Loop” Award

Soft Landing Mattress Recycling has been recognised as a leader in Western Australia’s circular economy, taking out the 2025 WasteSorted “Closing the Loop” Award for its work turning end-of-life mattresses into valuable resources.

The not-for-profit social enterprise and registered charity creates jobs for people facing barriers to work while diverting waste from landfill. Soft Landing WA State Manager Michael Pennington said the award is a proud moment for the Perth team and the community they serve:

“This award recognises the outstanding effort of our Wangara team – the people who get up every morning to collect and dismantle mattresses by hand. We’re showing that when you recycle the right way, you can create a positive impact for people, planet and communities and build a true circular economy.”
