ISRI approves additions of proposed specifications for MRF Glass and Inbound MRF Mixed Recyclables

The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) Board of Directors approved the addition of new specifications for glass and inbound mixed recyclables for material recovery facilities (MRF) during its Winter Meeting on February 10.  As per ISRI’s Policy Manual, any party may submit to ISRI a written appeal of the ISRI Board’s approval of this new specification up to 30 days after publication of this notice. Written appeals must provide a rationale and a request for action and should be sent to ISRI President Robin Wiener.

 The MRF glass specifications and inbound MRF specifications are available online for review. The MRF glass specifications were approved by the divisions at the Fall Board & Committee Meetings in Salt Lake City on November 4, 2016. The inbound MRF specifications were approved by the divisions during the Winter ISRI Board & Committee Meetings held on January 9, 2017. Both were developed in consultation with ISRI’s MRF Council and paper and plastic scrap recycling industry members with extensive experience working with scrap streams sourced from municipal collection facilities and programs.
