Addressing Critical Pain Points Driving the Investment
Several key operational challenges prompted Coopers Waste‘s decision to invest in the M&K Recycling System. The increasing complexity and volume of mixed C&D waste streams were outpacing the capabilities of their existing equipment, causing bottlenecks and inconsistent material recovery rates. Manual sorting processes were labour-intensive, slow, dangerous and prone to error, limiting throughput and profitability. Additionally, tightening UK and EU recycling regulations demanded higher recovery rates and stricter compliance, while rising landfill costs and environmental targets added financial and reputational pressures. The M&K system’s automation, modular design, and precision sorting technology directly address these pain points, enabling Coopers Waste to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and meet sustainability goals.
Unmatched Throughput and Processing Speed
The M&K system dramatically increases the volume of C&D waste processed per hour compared to traditional methods. Advanced screening ensures rapid, continuous material flow, allowing Coopers Waste to serve more clients and meet demanding project deadlines.

Precision Sorting for Maximum Material Recovery
Utilising dosing, screening, magnetic and air separation technology, the M&K system achieves high-purity recovery of aggregates, metals, and wood from mixed waste streams. This precision sorting not only maximises the value of recovered materials but also supports the circular economy by returning quality recyclables to the supply chain.
Lean Operations: Reducing Waste and Cost
The M&K system minimises manual handling and eliminates process bottlenecks. Automated sorting reduces labour costs and errors, while real-time monitoring ensures optimal performance. Customers benefit from faster turnaround, reduced costs, and consistent quality.
Sustainability and Compliance at the Core
With EU and UK regulations tightening, recycling companies must achieve at least 70% recovery of non-hazardous C&D waste by weight. The M&K system’s advanced recovery rates help Coopers Waste exceed these targets, diverting significant tonnages from landfill and lowering carbon emissions—a win for both the environment and regulatory compliance.
Future-Proof Flexibility and Scalability
M&K’s modular design allows for easy upgrades and adaptation to changing waste streams. As new materials and regulations emerge, Coopers Waste can scale their operations seamlessly, ensuring long-term resilience and technical superiority.
M&K is the leading supplier of innovative static, mobile and modular waste recycling and material handling technology combining unparalleled technological manufacturing capabilities with decades of application expertise. Established in 1977, M&K design, manufacture & support static, mobile and modular Shredders, Trommels, Recycling Screens, Star Screens, Conveyors, Picking Cabins, Air Separators, Crushers & Washing Systems.
