Bywaters’ is delighted to announce that its Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is showcased in WRAP’s recent case study: ‘East London recycling plant takes on all-comers’. The case study discusses London’s largest, and most central, undercover MRF and its affirmative role in the Recycling and Resource Management industry.
On 5th June 2008, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, officially opened Bywaters Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), which is located in a totally enclosed 15,000m2 building. The £7million plant was designed and built to accept the widest range of recyclables and collection systems from both the municipal and commercial sectors.
Collection systems are only one spoke in the recovery wheel, and there is certainly no one-size-fits-all solution to recycling. However, the flexibility of the Bywaters’ MRF caters to the variety of customer needs and WRAP’s case study highlights how one piece of equipment can boast an impressive 99% recovery of plastics. Continued investment has resulted in the installation of upgrades to the sorting lines, which will drastically reduce the residual percentage in the very near future, resulting in a 96%-98% recovery rate
John S Glover, Managing Director, Bywaters comments: “At Bywaters we pride ourselves on our innovation and strive to develop and embrace new technologies to further divert Resource from landfill. WRAP writing their case study on our MRF is especially gratifying in a climate where there have been questions on the quality output of MRFs’.”
David Rumble, Strategic Development Manager continues: “We know that our quality of output is good. Demand for our product has not declined, even during the supply crisis in October 2008. The Bow MRF is London’s premier facility for reducing the City’s carbon footprint. Bywaters’ customers are continuously supplied a wide range of dynamic solutions and their recyclable material (Resource) reaches its final potential at Bywaters.”
