Material recycling facilities (MRFs) across the UK take in commingled waste from local authorities and/or commercial/Industrial customers. They then sort the waste into high-quality streams of recyclable materials.
The MRFs use a combination of advanced mechanical sorting techniques and manual quality control to separate materials so that they can be reprocessed into new products.
Despite many warnings and awareness programmes waste such as gas cannisters can find their way into wheelie bins or containers at household waste level.
Gas cannisters are very high risk and may explode when crushed during the waste recycling process. To reduce the risk and protect personnel JBS blast containment curtains are used. JBS work with the client to design, manufacture and then install the system.
Recycling saves energy, helps protect the environment and reduces greenhouse gas emissions which help tackle climate change. JBS work with MRFs to improve the safety of these sites.
