Recycling facilities and waste collection points need tough air filtration—this keeps dust and odors in check, and makes sure you hit environmental and safety rules. Recycling is supposed to protect the planet, but your plant and team need clean air too. Good filtration guards your facility, gear, and staff against dust explosions, stench, and other hazards.
Why Recycling Plants Have Air Hazards
Recycling plants and MRFs (materials recovery facilities) handle all kinds of stuff—metals, glass, cardboard, plastics, wood—from homes and factories. All these kick up tons of dust and powder.

Single-stream MRFs mix organic and inorganic waste before sorting—this stirs up even more trouble. The process lets off gross odors from gases like hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans. Here’s the kicker: human noses pick up these smells at super low levels (parts per billion), so even a little makes the place reek.
Worse, nearly any solid (even metal) can explode when it’s a fine dust. So recycling plants don’t just fight stench—they’re at high risk of dust explosions and fires.
