ANN ARBOR, MI (March 26, 2024) — The Glass Recycling Coalition (GRC) announced Murphy Road Recycling as a recipient of a gold-level certification for its All American material recovery facility (MRF) in Berlin, Connecticut. The approximately $40 million single-stream MRF started operations in 2022 and features a state-of-the-art processing system that includes optical sorters, artificial intelligence, and robotics supplied by Van Dyk Recycling Solutions.
The All American MRF also utilizes glass cleaning equipment including a glass breaker, vibrating table screen, secondary fines screen, and vacuum system. The MRF sends its clean glass to processors that convert the material into cullet used for manufacturing glass containers, fine powders that are used in fiberglass insulation, and ground glass used as pozzolan (a cement binder).
