The financial pro-forma model provides an estimate of the costs, benefits, and net cost to a MRF to add flexible plastic packaging to their incoming material stream. RRS developed the pro-forma so that it can be adjusted to model this scenario for any MRF in the US. The key variable inputs to the model include operational characteristics of the MRF being modeled, such as inbound and outbound tonnage, staffing, operations and maintenance; as well as key financial variables, such as landfill tipping fees in the region, material sales revenue per ton, and capital and operating expenditures.
