Advanced Materials Recovery

摘要

As the previous Case Studies indicate, mixed-waste MRFs are operational and achieving positive results, including increased recovery and marketable materials. Innovations in processing technology give facility operators the ability to process mixed commercial and multifamily wastes-treams effectively and efficiently. So as politicians continue to push the envelope to increase recycling goals and to divert more from landfill disposal, the burgeoning mixed-waste processing industry is reacting. By processing mixed wastestreams that historically were destined for landfill disposal, gains in the recovery of marketable materials and other materials with beneficial uses increases have been significant. Advanced Materials Recovery is a proven method for recovering valuable materials and reclaiming the energy value locked in other materials and is a growing trend as a next step towards achieving higher recycling rates. The case studies presented in this article are good examples of the successful implementation of Advanced Materials Recovery and are provided to help other jurisdictions that are committed to increasing recycling and diversion.
