MRFs Receive Glass Recycling Coalition’s Gold Certification The Glass Recycling Coalition (GRC),Ann Arbor,Michigan, has awarded two material recovery facilities (MRFs) with gold-level MRF glass certifications, including Mid America Recycling in Iowa and Single Stream Recyclers in Florida. The GRC’s free certification program has recognized more than 10 MRFs that have additional equipment or operational procedures to clean up glass in both single- and dual-stream systems. Mid America Recycling, the first MRF in Des Moines, Iowa, to receive this certification, operates a modern glass recy- cling facility in its MRF.MidAmerica Recycling has been pro- viding services in the recycling industry for 42 years. Mid America Recycling’s on-site beneficiation process re- moves contaminants and sorts green, amber and flint (clear) glass containers. Then the facility crushes the material into cullet that is sized to end-user specifications. The Des Moines-based MRF processes more than 30,000 tons of glass per year, producing furnace-ready cullet that is shipped to end-users throughout North America. GRC said Sarasota, Florida-based Single Stream Recyclers, which is owned by Texas-based Balcones Resources, is the first MRF in the state to receive GRC’s gold certification. That MRF integrates robotic arms, optical scanners and oth- er equipment to sort 50 tons of recyclables per hour. Launched in 2019, the GRC MRF Glass Certification pro- gram has awarded 11 certifications, two silver and nine gold.
