MRF

This is a Sentier model of a material recover facility (MRF) in the US context. These facilities receive mixed municipal solid waste and through different means separate recyclables. The composition of the recyclables depends on the composition of the waste stream coming in. We have different waste compositions per county in US. As part of the model.

The model is a subset of the CELAVI model by NREL
