Bonet starts her divorce from Momoa
Recycling firm saves 100k mattresses from landfill
Bonet and Momoa
US actress Lisa Bonet has officially filed for divorce from Aquaman star Jason Momoa.
The move comes almost two years after the pair said they were separating.
Bonet, 56, appeared at Los Angeles County court yesterday to file papers on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences”.
The former couple share a 16-year-old daughter and a son, who is aged 15.
Momoa, 44, announced on Instagram they were to separate nearly two years ago.
The pair met in 2005 but did not get married until October 7, 2017.
Documents suggest they separated on their threeyear anniversary, more than a year before Momoa announced their split.
A SOCIAL enterprise founded by Irish Travellers has diverted 100,000 mattresses from landfill with an innovative recycling service now stretching 13 counties.
Bounce Back Recycling, which was set up by the Galway Traveller Movement in 2017, says households and businesses are still ditching 600,000 a year, costing the Irish economy around €108million.
They are hoping to reduce that number and prevent more going to landfill or incineration by launching their sustainable recycling service across Dublin, with plans to reach all 26 counties.
BBR manager Keith Mcdonagh said: “In Co Dublin alone, around 170,000 mattresses still go to landfill or incineration every year.

Getting to work with the collected mattresses times over and landfill space is quickly running out.
“It costs around €180 to dump a mattress in landfill which creates an estimated loss of up to €30million or more to the local economy.
“Dumping 170,000 mattresses is equivalent to over 4,000 tonnes of waste, this could be turned instead into over 3,500 tonnes of valuable materials, if recycled. “We could be putting money back into the circular economy and creating green jobs, by using the materials we produce by recycling mattresses.”
Keith says it doesn’t make environmental or economic sense for mattresses to be dumped when they can be broken down and parts reused, with the metal springs going to the steel industry.
He added: “But there are practical issues for householders and businesses who need to dump mattresses. You can’t fit a mattress
