Carbon passports

To reach net zero carbon emissions, many brands are striving to put their best foot forward when it comes to complying with greener legislation.

As part of the bed industry’s journey to become more sustainable, manufacturers and retailers are starting to see the emergence of Carbon Passports on mattresses, beds and a variety of other household items.

What are Carbon Passports?

A Carbon Passport is essentially documentation that details:

• Every component of your product
• The origin of your product
• The carbon footprint of your product

Some of these Carbon Passports also include information on how and where you can recycle your product at the end of its life.

Brands such as Silentnight and Jay-Be are already adding Carbon Passports to all of their new products accessible by scanning a QR code with your mobile phone.

You will be able to find the Carbon Passport information in one of the following places:

• On the tag attached to your mattress
• On the label stitched onto the foot of your mattress
• In your mattress care guide
• In your mattress warranty or guarantee guide

Silentnight has a PDF version of their Carbon Passport information, which you can download from our product pages.

The Climate Pledge and Carbon Neutrality

The Climate Pledge is the world’s largest pledge to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Co-founded by Global Optimism and Amazon, the Climate Pledge group holds their partners to the highest sustainability standards by regularly measuring greenhouse gas emissions and improving renewable energy resources for these organisations ^[3].

We’re proud to say that our suppliers such as Silentnight ^[4] and Simba ^[5] have signed the Climate Pledge, and have pledged to reach their goals years ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement^[6].

The Paris Climate Agreement is separate from The Climate Pledge but is an agreement signed at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in 2015 by 196 parties.

The main aim of the Paris Climate Agreement is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the effects of global warming and the impacts of climate change^[7].

Several other brands such as Hypnos ^[8] and Harrison Spinks ^[9] have been celebrating years of being carbon neutral, meaning that they are balancing the carbon they produce with the carbon they are removing from the Earth’s atmosphere.
