Come and visit the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) at Recorra and see the journey your recycling takes before it gets sent off to be turned into brand new items.
All the materials collected by Recorra for recycling are transported back to their Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) in Essex. Recorra then sort recycling to the highest standards in-house, retaining quality in the recycling chain. With optical sorting facilities, magnetic sorters, eddy currents and a ballastic separator to maximise the amount of recycling sorted, Recorra’s commercial MRF is the largest in London.
