What is a Material Recovery Facility (MRF)?

A Material Recovery Facility (also called an MRF plant) is a dedicated solution where recyclable materials are recovered through sizing, screening, sorting and prepared for reuse. It helps to manage large amounts of waste more efficiently by separating items like paper, rigid plastic, flexible plastic, PET Bottles, rubber, textile, fabric, leather, metals, organic and inert.

With the help of advanced waste sorting technology, the facility follows basic recovery procedures to make it easier to recycle materials instead of sending them to landfills or for incineration.

By organizing and processing recyclables, a material recovery facility MRF supports sustainable waste management and promotes a cleaner, greener environment. Also it enables carbon footprints reduction and saves precious natural resources.

How an MRF Facility Plant Works

A materials recycling facility in solid waste management is designed to separate and recover useful materials from mixed waste streams. A modern MRF recycling plant operates through a combination of manual and automated steps:

Pre-Sorting

Large, unwanted items are manually sorted from the incoming tonnes of waste stream. This ensures smoother processing ahead.

Screening Process

The equipment like Trommel / Disc Screen separates the materials based on size, helping to sort materials subsequently. This step helps in removing organic & inert content.

Air Density Separator / Ballistic Separator

This system separates light and heavy waste fractions based on density, enhancing further separation quality.

Automatic Optical Sorters

High-speed sorter uses various technologies like NIR , AI, VIS to identify the materials based on their chemical signature, shape, brand, colour etc. There could be multiple sorting steps based on separation requirements..

Final Sorting & Storage

The remaining materials are manually sorted at final stations and stored in dedicated material storage bunkers, forming the final MRF products list.

Compaction & Baling

The recovered valuable materials are then compacted & baled further to send to recyclers.
