SKU # MC19749996

Description

Material recovery facilities (MRFs) are essential components of the circular economy, acting as intermediaries that process recyclable materials for reuse or further recycling. They are a vital link in the solid waste management value chain, processing waste collected from various sources and preparing valuable recyclables for resale to manufacturers or recyclers.

The core activities of MRFs include sorting and separating recyclable materials through mechanical or chemical processes, and directing non-recyclable materials to incineration or composting. By optimizing resource recovery, reducing waste disposal, and minimizing the environmental impacts of new product manufacturing, MRFs help reduce reliance on raw materials and contribute to a more sustainable, circular economy.

The MRF market has experienced significant growth and innovation in recent years as the demand for efficient waste management solutions increases, driven by environmental awareness and regulatory pressure. As a result, certain companies have taken the lead in advancing the MRF industry with a robust presence in recycling and recovery processes. They also act as growth accelerators for the circular economy worldwide.

The top 15 companies in the MRF market are distinguished by their innovative approaches, growth strategies, and ability to shape the future of waste management and resource recovery. Through technological advancements, strategic partnerships, and operational excellence, they are driving the evolution of the MRF industry, ensuring that the transition to a circular economy is scalable and sustainable.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
