MRF Recycling Specialists - Reduce waste sent to landfill

Metalian ltd is a MRF recycling specialist where we help busineeses and local authorites sustaiblay recycle their waste. We buy all grades of MRF and sustainably recycle and sort the material to help businesses lower their carbon footprint by sending less material to landfill.

What is MRF?

A MRF (Materials Recovery Facility) is a specialised recycling plant designed to efficiently process and sort recyclable materials from general waste. General waste typically includes a diverse range of materials, including paper, glass, plastics, and metals where over 4.2 million tonnes is processed every year, this is expected to grow to over 5 million tonnes by 2030.

The primary objective of an MRF recycling specialist is to enhance the recycling process by effectively separating valuable recyclables from non-recyclable waste. This is achieved through a combination of advanced technology and manual sorting, which allows for the identification and categorisation of various materials. Once processed, these materials can be recycled sustainably, contributing to a circular economy by being reintroduced into the production cycle for new products.

MRFs play a critical role in reducing landfill waste and promoting resource recovery, thereby supporting environmental sustainability and reducing the demand for virgin materials.

We specialise in all grades of MRF and excel at the segregation and recovery of materials for recycling and reprocessing. As demand for recycling increases, we work closely with our clients to implement innovative strategies that efficiently manage reclaimed materials. Our goal is to minimise contamination levels and maximise the value of all recyclables.

MRF Grades

MRF can be categorised into several grades of materials, each distinguished by its specific composition and the amount of recyclable content it contains. These grades are essential for determining the value of the materials, as they reflect the quality and feasibility of recycling. Higher-grade materials, which contain a greater proportion of pure recyclables, tend to command a higher market price.

Clean MRF

Clean MRF refers to recyclable materials that have already been separated from solid waste. These materials undergo re-processing to further sort and refine them, enabling more effective recycling. However, Clean MRF generally has a lower recovery rate because some materials may be discarded before they reach the Material Recovery Facility (MRF).

Dirty MRF

Dirty MRF is material that is sourced from direct waste; it undergoes sorting and processing to identify recyclable waste. We often see higher recovery rates of recyclable material. By effectively diverting these materials from landfills, Dirty MRF contributes significantly to sustainability efforts and the circular economy, reducing environmental impact and conserving natural resources.
