The new facility is designed to process 20 tons of dry commingled household waste per hour and to recover 9 fractions of high-quality recyclables, including plastic, paper, cardboard, and glass.
Rebuilt from ground up, the new Altens East facility has been transformed into a new future-proof MRF that demonstrates how innovation can unlock greater value from commingled waste streams. Designed and built by Sutco UK, the plant features state-of-the-art waste processing and sorting technology from leading providers in the market. Thanks to the equipment and an efficient process design, the plant is capable of processing up to 20 tons of commingled household waste per hour and recovering 9 different fractions of recyclable materials. The fractions produced will reach high-purity levels that will enable downstream processors to convert them into high-quality post-consumer recyclates for new product applications.
