Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
The state-of-the-art $23.2m Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), owned by the Central Adelaide Waste and Recycling Authority (CAWRA), a joint initiative of the Cities of Charles Sturt and Port Adelaide Enfield, includes the latest in optical sorting technology to produce clean commodities ideal for developing local markets.
Located at Kilburn, the facility is able to process 50,000 tonnes of household recyclables per year into a series of commodity streams ready for sale to various recycling markets.
Our goal is to build the local circular economy by recycling more of our materials here in South Australia and prioritising local markets for our material exports. From now on, we’ll know where our recyclables go, and can direct it locally creating jobs in SA’s recycling sector.
