en.Wedoany.com Reported - WM recently opened a nearly 125,000-square-foot recycling facility in Indianapolis, which is expected to process up to 200,000 tons of recyclables annually. The facility is equipped with glass recycling equipment, optical sorters, and more, providing crucial recycling infrastructure for Indiana and marking its official transition from the construction phase to the operational phase.

The facility is designed to help regional recycling programs expand and provide manufacturers with higher-quality materials. Its equipment includes non-winding screens and ballistic separators, enabling it to accept traditionally difficult-to-recycle materials, such as plastic film. WM manages input contamination through these facilities and educates customers on proper recycling practices.

Frank Fello, Vice President of WM's Great Lakes Region, stated that this facility provides a local solution for single-stream recycling and supports the development of Indiana's circular economy. Andrew Berger, President of the Indiana Manufacturers Association, noted that the facility offers a reliable, local source of high-quality recycled materials for manufacturers within the state.

Pratt Recycling is partnering with WM to transform the cardboard and mixed paper generated by the facility into 100% recycled packaging. Pratt supports the classification of paper cups as recyclable items in Indianapolis and their inclusion in mixed paper bales.
