Odor control inside Material Recovery Facilities is just as important for employees working inside the recycling facility as it is to neighboring residents. And very soon, many local air quality management districts will mandate it. The challenge is how to eliminate odors—and complaints—cost-effectively and use current technology to deliver that solution. Odor-neutralizing agents provide a better choice over those chemicals that merely mask odors. To date, the most commonly used solution involves essential oils and plant extracts, highly diluted with water, and delivered through high pressure nozzles. Expensive, but effective. BioMagic MSW-600 offers clear advantages. Costs are about 70% less than essential oils. Delivered as an ultra-fine mist, very small droplets stay airborne and react with the airborne odor molecules in the MRF, while posing no health risk to employees. Very little water weight is added to the waste to be transported from the facility to landfills.

One of the main concerns of waste and environmental services companies today is their image in the community, so controlling odors in and around waste transfer facilities, landfills and recycling facilities is one of the highest priorities. And with good reason. Not only can failure to control odors generate substantial consumer complaint, but in 2008, many local air quality management districts will have specific regulations concerning the planning and implementation of odor management solutions for these facilities.
