Session: MRF Panel Discussion - What’s on the Horizon?

With the opening of three new material recovery facilities (MRFs), it’s clear that state funding is already making an impact, and it’s likely the recycling industry will continue to experience dramatic change. With NextCycle Michigan poised to multiply State investment and the inevitable passage of the Part 115 rewrite, we will only uncover more needs in this space. Join us for a conversation and Q&A with Michigan’s MRF operators to gain insight into the unique challenges these facilities face. Develop a better understanding of MRF operations and the multitude of factors that impact their success. Learn about scaling and capacity and other ways facilities can meet the needs of region. Increasing the volume and quality of recovered material is everyone’s job and will require better coordination and education across the reverse supply chain. Learn how to develop a successful partnership that helps your local MRF thrive and deliver the services your community needs.
