MiniMRF Recycling and Waste Diversion Technology, a joint venture between Novelis Corporation and PRFection Engineering, builds and operates innovative technology designed to achieve high rates of solid waste diversion. This technology is positioned downstream to recover materials that have already eluded traditional recycling programs and are otherwise destined for landfills.
MiniMRF technology provides landfills and transfer stations with the means to divert meaningful quantities of the municipal solid waste stream, and redirect it back into valuable reuse applications. Currently, the technology targets aluminum cans, steel and a variety of other reusable materials. In its future state, when coupled with a conversion technology, landfill volume reduction can approach 90 percent.
Novelis and PRFection Engineering are committed to long-term environmental sustainability. The development of miniMRF is part of both companies’ significant efforts to reduce their environmental footprints as well as the footprints of their customers and supply chain partners.
