Material Recovery
Every unit deconstructed through SPRINGS yields recoverable commodity streams. Steel, foam, and fiber are all separated and sold to certified processors — revenue that funds the full Kernovate mission.

Illinois Context
Illinois landfills receive an estimated 1.5–2 million mattresses annually — with McLean County contributing tens of thousands of units each year.
As Illinois municipal solid waste policy evolves, mattress recycling capacity in Central Illinois remains severely underdeveloped. Kernovate operates as the only dedicated mattress deconstruction facility in the region.
Commercial accounts — hotels, universities, property managers — represent the largest single volume opportunity for diversion growth in McLean County.
