Materials Recovery Facilities
Veolia Environmental Services operates a number of Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) which sort recyclable materials – paper, glass, metals and plastics – collected from municipal collections. The recyclable material arrives from council collections and is sorted using mechanical conveyers and teams of sorters who identify and remove potential contaminants.
The sorted recyclables are then forwarded on to a number of material recyclers who convert the material back into usable products.
Veolia’s MRF’s ensure the return of viable materials such as plastics are not sent to landfill and hence provide a valuable service by ensuring the life cycle of these consumable materials are fulfilled
