    I was supervisor at an old, I think one of the first MRF's ever conceived for five years. Mechtronics machinery in Northampton, Pa. We used Van Dyke services for repair and upgrading. Looks like the single stream equipment is improving. But most plastic still goes to the land fill, the 3 to 7 plastics on the recycling triangle posted on products are sent to landfills.

    Loved the video. I am such a strict recycler! Amazed at all the new machines that help with the sorting process!

    Sorry because on the sides of the conveyor belt, do not create specialist robotic arms (with ultrasound to recognize its material) for some materials not discarded before before (and after).

    I appreciate the recycling effort. But these workers should all be wearing masks, gloves and suits while managing this garbage! The health of these workers is necessary and important.

    Wow! I guess I’m really behind the times, regarding how single stream recycling works!!! I live in an apartment now, & the only available recycling we have is one “single stream” bin. I just figured that I should thoroughly rinse out all food containers, including my cat food cans, so the workers didn’t have to breath so as to cut down on the smells that must accompany the sorter’s job. However, I didn’t notice any of the personnel wearing masks. So, does that mean I’m wasting another resource for nothing? Hmmm...this video was super thorough!

    • @Nardius1999
      @Nardius1999 2 роки тому +1

      Generally, you want to always rinse food products and not just because of the smell. The items to be recycled must be clean otherwise when they are melted or shredded for reprocessing, that food will go right into the batch.

    I'm surprised that some workers opt out of using any mask. I understand it's harder to breathe wearing those though.

    As a health and safety practitioner in the UK I was having kitchens watching this video. I think even the untrained eye could spot the inconsistencies with the wearing of PPE. I think the speed at which the belt was moving could cause motion sickness for the workers and some of them were clearly working too fast as a result of that. I can only make an assumption from what I saw in that video but I'm guessing the staff retention rate will be low and sickness rates high due to musculoskeletal issues due to staff working at such a speed and overreaching when picking the waste.

    • @leef8063
      @leef8063 Рік тому +2

      I guarantee you no one is working that fast all day, unless the supervisor or camera is near....lol Supervisor of an MRF!

    I've been neatly containing all my paper into brown paper grocery bags and putting that in my single-stream bin.
    So... apparently that's wasted effort on my part. Just throw it all in the bin haphazardly.

    • @PatriotForThePlanet
      @PatriotForThePlanet 5 років тому +1

      Depends where you live. Many MRFs don't want shred at all now, as it is much harder to get separated from glass than this makes it seem.

    1)Electric automatic crane needed for the input phase
    2) magnetics stage should the beginning
    3) the shredding should be more powerful so no manual big item removal needed
    4) the video did not address biowaste
    Otherwise amazing system

      Why are people so freaked out by some people not wearing masks? The air is clearly not dusty, recyclables don't release a lot of microscopic material, so dust masks aren't really doing much.
