Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
Overview
A Material Recovery Facility (MRF) is a modern plant designed for the segregation, sorting, and recovery of valuable recyclables from mixed municipal solid waste (MSW), dry waste, or pre-segregated waste streams. MRFs play a crucial role in the circular economy by diverting waste away from landfills, recovering reusable materials, and ensuring that only inert residues are disposed.
Types of MRFs
- Clean MRF
- Processes source-separated recyclables (plastics, metals, glass, paper, etc.) collected from households and institutions.
- Dirty MRF
- Processes mixed MSW to extract recyclables before sending organic fractions to composting or biomethanation and rejects to landfill.
Process Flow
- Waste Reception & Feeding
- Waste is unloaded, inspected, and fed onto conveyors for uniform flow.
- Primary Segregation
- Manual or mechanical sorting to remove bulky items and hazardous contaminants.
- Screening (Trommel / Disc Screen)
- Separates waste into different size fractions for specialized processing
- Air Density Separation (ADS / Wind Sifter)
- Differentiates light fractions (plastics, paper) from heavy fractions (glass, stones, metals).
- Magnetic & Eddy Current Separation
- Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are recovered for recycling.
- Optical / Sensor-Based Sorting (Optional)
- High-tech systems to sort plastics (PET, HDPE, LDPE, etc.), paper grades, and other materials.
- Baling & Storage
- Recovered recyclables are compacted into bales for easy transportation to recycling industries.
- Residual Disposal
- Only minimal non-recyclable fraction is sent to landfill.
