The Role of Mechanical Screening in the MRF of the Future
The recycling stream is changing and Material Recovery Facility (MRFs) need to change along with it. As packaging changes and diversifies, the ability of traditional mechanical screens to produce finished end-products in a MRF is diminished, resulting in more sorting downstream – either manual or automated – and increasing costs.
