Sustainable Recovery
A Material Recovery Facility (MRF) is a specialised plant designed to receive, separate, and prepare recyclable materials for sale as raw materials to manufacturers. MRFs use a combination of manual and automated processes, including conveyor belts, sorting screens, magnets, and optical scanners, to sort materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, and metals.
By diverting recyclable materials from landfills, MRFs reduce the demand for new raw materials and help decrease the pollution associated with manufacturing new products.
Optimising Waste Management for Sustainable Energy Solutions
Sulomas’s Integrated Waste Management (IWM) solutions are revolutionising the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) sector by driving sustainable outcomes for both waste-to-energy (WTE) and Pyrolysis plants. MRFs efficiently sort and process recyclable materials, ensuring high-quality feedstock for energy production. Besides reducing the volume of waste headed to landfills, MRFs also support the generation of energy from waste, aligning with broader environmental sustainability goals.
Sulomas emphasises the transformation of waste into valuable resources, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering the circular economy. Integrating MRFs with WTE and Pyrolysis plants opens up further avenues for cost savings and revenue generation, making waste management both financially viable and environmentally responsible.
Our commitment to environmental regulations ensures that all our operations meet stringent sustainability standards, while community engagement initiatives bolster the input to MRFs, further enhancing the overall efficiency of waste management.

Clean vs Dirty MRFs
A Clean MRF processes pre-sorted recyclable materials, ensuring efficient recovery and high-quality recyclables by handling only clean, separated waste streams.
A Dirty MRF processes mixed waste, separating recyclables from non-recyclables, which allows for the recovery of materials even from unsorted waste, but often requires more complex sorting technology and labor.
Technology Restrictions
- Mixing of glass and paper will reduce the output quality of both materials
- Mechanical technologies required for separation of materials by grade are capital intensive
- Hand sorting can be used to varying degrees within the process
- Requires diligent separation of materials at source and low contamination
