The International Sleep Products Association has launched an ISPA EARTH Facebook page and ISPA Earth LinkedIn Group.

ISPA Earth is the ISPA's initiative to improve the environmental impact of the mattress industry's operations and products.۬ The organization looks to use social media for easier communication about these topics. For example, ISPA's Facebook page and LinkedIn Group will help anyone interested in used mattress recycling find information, share ideas, ask questions, and make new connections.

Mattress disposal is a persistent and growing problem in many states, and Facebook and LinkedIn make communicating among manufacturers, consumers, recyclers and anyone in the business of making, buying, using and disposing of beds easier.

Users can post questions and information about mattress recycling or other topics involving the environmental impact of mattresses, including new "greener" materials, better manufacturing practices that can reduce energy or water consumption, etc.
