Sherbourne Resource Park is the most advanced MRF of its kind in the UK, harnessing a fully integrated solution that combines sorting equipment, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence. It processes the recycling of more than 1.5million residents throughout its 12,000sqm purpose-built facility, and can process up to 250,000 tonnes a year, averaging 47.5tonnes per hour.
All the recycling items from residents undergo a journey to separate them by material. Paper and card, plastics, glass, and metals. This is achieved by separating items first by size, then by dimension (2-D and 3-D), then by material before being quality control checked. Any non-recyclable items are taken out of the process and disposed of responsibly.
