Our sorting materials guide provides end-to-end guidance on Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) compliance, regulation, material sources, quality output, and the key aspects of running a successful sorting and reprocessing operation.
There are a number of strict regulations MRFs operators must abide by whilst also developing technological and testing processes and best practices to ensure both compliance and efficiency. This includes the value, volume and quality of material as well as the testing processes involved in the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2014.
