Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) are specialized plants designed to sort and process recyclable materials. They receive mixed recyclables, such as paper, plastics, metals, and glass, from households and businesses. The facility uses various technologies, including conveyor belts and shredders, to separate these materials for further processing. Once sorted, the recyclable materials are prepared for sale to manufacturers who can reuse them in new products. MRFs play a crucial role in reducing waste sent to landfills and promoting sustainable practices by ensuring that valuable resources are recovered and recycled efficiently.
