In search of an industrial mechanic
We also contribute to a circular world!
At our Rumbeke site, there are two sorting lines (PRF and MRF). These installations form the heart of our activities within the Recovery Facilities business unit, where we recover valuable materials from waste streams using innovative techniques, contributing to the circular economy. Here, recyclable and recoverable materials are separated and then pressed into bales. The PRF line focuses on sorting PMD waste, while the MRF line mainly sorts business residual waste and other residue streams.
