Materials recycling facility
A materials recycling facility (MRF) is a special sorting factory where mixed recyclables are separated into individual materials, prior to despatch to reprocessors who wash and prepare the materials for manufacturing into new recycled products.
The materials recycling facility is made up of a series of conveyor belts and a mix of manual and automatic machines to separate the materials and remove any items that can't be recycled.
There are MRFs in London run by various waste management companies. Most of these companies are members of our Leave no Footprint business club.
