What is Dry Mixed Recycling?
Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) refers to a range of recyclable materials that can be collected together without the need for separation. This typically includes:
- Paper: This includes office paper, newspapers, magazines, and envelopes.
- Card and Cardboard: All forms of cardboard, including packaging boxes and food and drink cartons.
- Plastic: This covers plastic bottles, plastic packaging, and other plastic containers.
- Metal: Metal tins, cans, and foil can all be included in your DMR.
Benefits of Dry Mixed Recycling
The main benefit of DMR is its simplicity. By removing the need for businesses to separate their recyclable waste into different streams, DMR makes it easier for businesses to recycle more, and waste less. This can also lead to significant cost savings, as well as the obvious environmental benefits of increased recycling rates.
How Dry Mixed Recycling is Processed
Once we collect your DMR, it’s taken to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where it is sorted into separate streams using a combination of manual and automated processes. These sorted materials are then baled and sent to various reprocessing facilities where they’re transformed into new products.
