Material Recovery

Material recovery is the process of retrieving valuable materials from waste or discarded products so they can be reused or recycled rather than ending up in landfills. It involves separating useful components—like metals, plastics, and glass—from waste streams, cleaning them, and preparing them for manufacturing new products. This helps conserve natural resources, reduces environmental impact, and minimizes wastefulness. Material recovery is essential for sustainable waste management, turning potential trash into valuable resources and supporting environmental and economic benefits.
