A Material Recovery Facility (MRF) is designed to separate recyclable materials from incoming waste streams.

Within the IWPF processing architecture, the MRF enables mechanical sorting of dry recyclables prior to residual discharge.

Key Elements

• Mechanical sorting lines
• Conveyor systems
• Quality control stations
• Segregated output streams

Relevance to IWPF
Properly configured MRF systems support recovery rates and landfill reduction within regulated concession frameworks.
