Well managed MRFs with modern equipment can achieve low levels of output material contamination and thus increase quality. This session will practically illustrate how glass from MRFs, that accept it as a targeted input, can be taken up the value chain to remelt applications rather than the traditional low level aggregate replacement route. Also WRAP will present the results of a recent UK quality benchmarking exercise to show what material quality levels are being achieved.
Who should attend? Local Authority Managers, MRF Operators, Material Reprocessors
