A recent news item provided a rare glimpse into Australia’s largest recycling plant, the VISY Materials Recovery Facility in Sydney. Around 10% of items placed in household yellow bins are not recyclable. The plant employs manual and machine sorting processes to separate materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, aluminum, and steel. The focus is on diverting valuable materials from landfills and promoting proper recycling practices among consumers.
Ironically, while soft plastics is the most common item being mistakenly “recycled”, Superfy is working with other organisations, dedicated to recycling soft plastics.
