Ep. 37: Exploring the Role of MRFs & the Recycling Journey w/ Eureka Recycling Co-President Miriam Holsinger

Recycled Content host Kara Pochiro and Miriam Holsinger, Co-President and Chief Operating Officer at Eureka Recycling, take you behind the scenes of one of the nation’s cleanest Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to explore their critical role in the recycling supply chain.  Miriam shares her expertise on how recyclables are collected, sorted, and processed at MRFs, and explains the technologies used to separate different materials like plastics, aluminum, and glass so they can eventually be made into new products. They dive into some of the challenges MRFs face, common misconceptions about recycling, and the impact of policy on recycling efforts.  Want to know how much of what you put in the bin actually gets recycled?
