Machinex has completed the design, manufacturing, and installation of Quebec’s first recycling facility built to meet the province’s curbside recycling system reform under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework. The Montreal-Est Material Recovery Facility (MRF) is the largest and most technologically advanced recycling facility in Quebec, processing 52 tons of residential single-stream recycling per hour. The facility is operated by Matrec, a division of GFL Environmental, and is designed to modernize recycling and ensure the sustainability of Quebec’s economy. The facility features a reliable sorting system with improved technologies and equipment, increasing recovery rates and enabling recyclable materials to be resold to local companies. The project was completed in 15 months, despite a tight schedule, and features advanced sorting solutions, including proprietary technologies and artificial intelligence. The facility is a key step towards achieving EPR objectives and promoting the circular economy in Quebec.
