What Happens To Dry Mixed Recycling?


Dry mixed recycling (DMR) typically undergoes a sorting and processing process after collection. Here's what typically happens:


Collection


DMR is collected from businesses and transported to a material recovery facility (MRF).


Sorting


At the MRF, the DMR is unloaded onto a conveyor belt where it passes through various sorting stations. These stations use a combination of manual labour and automated machinery to separate different types of recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals.


Processing


Once sorted, the materials are processed further. For example, paper and cardboard may be baled, plastics may be shredded or compacted into blocks, and metals may be baled or crushed.


Sale to manufacturers


The processed materials are then sold to manufacturers or recycling facilities where they are used to produce new products. For instance, recycled paper and cardboard can be used to make new paper products, recycled plastics can be used to manufacture various plastic goods, and recycled metals can be melted down and used in the production of new metal products.


Reuse or manufacturing


The recycled materials are then either reused directly in the manufacturing process or used to create new products.
