They remove contamination/contrary materials in the input mix and produce a variety of separate good quality [[recyclate]] streams with good value, with low levels of contrary materials . | ||
*'''"Dirty" MRFs'''/'''Waste to Fuel MRF''' which extract some [[recyclate]] from mixed [[MSW]] and [[Commercial Waste]] streams with more of a focus on producing a [[Waste Derived Fuel]] ([[WDF]]). [[Recyclate]] tends to be of poor quality and of lower value. | *'''"Dirty" MRFs'''/'''Waste to Fuel MRF''' which extract some [[recyclate]] from mixed [[MSW]] and [[Commercial Waste]] streams with more of a focus on producing a [[Waste Derived Fuel]] ([[WDF]]).
