How can we ensure that all our recyclable materials are sorted in the appropriate commodity types and processed accordingly? That’s the role of a material recovery facility. Wastech Engineering designs Material Recovery Facilities in Australia and New Zealand. Read below to discover more information about MRFs and how your business can get involved to make a difference.

A material recovery facility, or MRF, is a specialised waste management plant that receives, sorts and prepares recyclable materials for re-manufacturer. At a MRF, a combination of manual, mechanical and optical sorting is used to ensure as many reusable and recyclable materials are recovered as possible.

After collection trucks pick up your comingled waste, they drive to a Material Recovery Facility. They dump the waste materials onto the tipping floor, and it travels through conveyor belts into the pre-sorting area. Workers separate materials that are not recyclable, hazardous materials, and materials that pose a threat to machinery. From there, the waste continues travelling through various conveyor belts as our cutting-edge waste management screens and optical sorting units sort the recyclable materials into their various different commodity groups. At the end of the process, the residual waste material is sent to landfill and the recyclables to the appropriate re-manufacturing centres.
