Notice Description
WRAP is developing a procurement toolkit to help local authorities in England prepare for Simpler Recycling. It includes guidance on MRF services, contract templates, and a DMR model. The toolkit, due in 2025-26, aims to support decision-making on co-collection and recycling impacts. The DMR model will be Excel-based and shared via the LA Portal.

Procurement Information
Availability of MRF data is limited, yet it is essential for developing the DMR model. The required datasets include MRF size and type, material flows, and contamination and process losses. Sortflow uniquely captures live process data via AI vision systems and NIR/optical sorters, enabling the creation of mass balance models to simulate changes and forecast outcomes. The anonymised data generated is critical to underpinning the DMR model.
