Advancing Recycling in Scotland: KME Delivers New MRF for Cireco

The Scottish sun shone down on our team of mechanical fitters this week as we installed our latest bespoke Mini MRF in collaboration with Blue Group Scotland and Tomra, for leading waste management company Cireco Scotland.

This exciting project represents another step forward for Scotland MRF development, bringing together the expertise of Ken Mills Engineering (KME), Blue Group, and Tomra to deliver a modern, high-performance Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) tailored to local needs.

Cireco Scotland is a Fife Council-backed commercial enterprise and the only Tier 1 Scottish company in the sector. They work with everyone from individual households to large businesses and local authorities, offering innovative, cost-effective waste solutions.

KME was selected to design and install the full MRF layout, including infeed conveyors, platforms, bunker systems, and a custom accelerator conveyor to feed the Tomra sorting system. This setup is designed to boost throughput and sorting efficiency at the facility.

As Scotland continues to lead the way in sustainable waste management, improvements to MRFs in Scotland are crucial. This new installation enhances Cireco’s ability to recover valuable materials, reduce downtime, and increase processing speed — ensuring they stay competitive and meet the demands of modern recycling markets.

At Ken Mills Engineering Ltd., we pride ourselves on delivering reliable, efficient recycling machinery. Our systems help clients across the UK and beyond achieve waste reduction targets, create new revenue streams, and streamline operations.

This latest Scotland MRF project not only improves operational performance but also supports wider environmental goals by maximising resource recovery and minimising landfill waste.
