Recyclables derived from the various MBT processes are typically of a lower quality than those derived from a separate household recyclate collection system and therefore have a lower potential for high value markets. The types of materials recovered from MBT processes almost always include metals (ferrous and non-ferrous) and for many systems this is the only recyclate extracted. However these plant can help enhance overall recycling levels and enable recovery of certain constituent items that may not otherwise be collected in household systems (. batteries, steel coat hangers, etc.). .
