Single Stream Recycling

As Mazza’s pledge to invest 15 million dollars into single stream recycling, this facility serves as their commitment to recover more recyclable material in Monmouth and Atlantic County, New Jersey. The state-of-the-art system is the first system with complete positive sorting on the east coast.

In an effort to eliminate waste and decrease the need for eradicating Earth’s natural resources, Mazza has invested in a sorting facility that uses sizing and optical technology to recycle more materials from the stream, and produce quality products that will have consistent movement in an increasingly restrictive global market. By increasing the rate of recycling paper and cardboard, this plant reduces the need to harvest trees. This system also reduces the need to use up our planet’s remaining natural oil that is used to manufacture new plastic products. By investing in this design, Mazza seeks to not only preserve natural resources, but also to extend the life-cycle of plastics, paper, cardboard, and metal containers in a world undergoing an environmental crisis. In addition to promoting sustainability and creating a circular economy, this capital investment will create jobs in our local community inside of this 70,000 square foot Material Recovery Facility.
