Secondary Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) aggregate low-volume and difficult-to-sort materials, along with machine yield losses, from a network of existing Primary MRFs. This allows for material to reach the critical mass necessary to justify the types of investments in automated technologies for detailed sorting that may not make sense at the individual MRF level. The Secondary MRF business model is designed to cost-effectively optimize our recycling infrastructure while delivering benefits to all stakeholders within a waste-shed.
