This project is not just a recycling project. I wanted to think about social issues,showing that art could be accessible to all and enable poor people to live with it. Moreover the mattresses recycling associated with wooden pallets would build housing for low heating consumption.The sustainable development and reducing gas warms the planet is the priority at present. The mattresses recycling and plastic packaging could permit to make differents forms of furniture.

1INSULATION:
The story start with a love story between wooden palett and a mattress. Indeed the main source of CO2 emissions from construction. That is why the main efforts should be placed on reducing emission co2 from building construction.C That is why the use of materials such as wooden pallets and mattresses abandoned can be used to create insulation boards very effective. The wooden pallets from the recovery serve as structural elements and exterior cladding. The materials from mattresses (low thermal conductivity) such as polyurethane, polyester or cotton and wood fibers would be re-used as insulation.the insulation fibers would be compressed and inserted into the wooden paletts. We will obtain a structural panel and very isolant.The materials are not greener because not biodegradable but still reduce emissions Gas effects of serre.Remains essential that we give a second life to materials already used . After serving his first life on the back of the inhabitants, the mattress will reduce consumption of heating. This structural insulation panel has : (Risol=4.75W(m²/K) and a lambda=0,032W(m²/K) )This panels would build houses positive energy or passivhauss (consumption of heating
