What does the material flow of a recycling plant mean?
The material flow of the recycling plant refers to all the materials that pass through the processes of the different stages of the recycling plant. These materials can be, for example, collected recyclable materials such as paper, plastic, glass, metal and bio-waste. The material flow covers everything from how these materials are received, processed, sorted, recycled and finally reused or disposed of.
Material flow management aims to optimize and rationalize these processes by maximizing the utilization of recyclable materials and reducing the amount of waste. It includes everything from the processing and sorting of materials to their processing into new products or raw materials. Effective management of material flows is an essential part of the operation of a recycling facility and helps to achieve environmental, economic and sustainability goals.
