A Material Recovery Facility is often referred to as a ‘MRF’ and is generically a facility that sorts, grades and prepares waste fractions suitable for onward dispatch to [[Reprocessors]]. Many also refer to a MRF as a Material Recycling Facility, which is not strictly true in that the MRF separates the material for onward recycling rather than recycling the material n its own right. "Clean" MRFs accept materials from source separation schemes and [[Dry Mixed Recyclable]] materials ([[DMR]]). ‘Dirty’ MRFs extract recyclables from mixed [[MSW]] and [[Commercial Waste]] and are generally more focused on producing a [[WDF]]. There are other MRFs which are focused on particular waste streams as well – for example [[Construction and Demolition Waste]] and skip wastes, and [[Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment]]. |
