Waste management and recycling

We are European leaders in recycling steel dusts, aluminium and salt slags, preventing the primary production of thousands of tonnes of zinc and aluminium.

The principal growth vectors for the industrial waste recycling market are the growth in the world’s population and the increase in regulatory and legislative pressure regarding the environment.

Steel waste recycling:

We manage waste from the production of common and stainless steels, as well as waste from the galvanisation process, recycling metals such as zinc, preventing them from being permanently discarded and minimising new extraction from the natural world.

Aluminium waste recycling:

We have a unique integral model for recycling aluminium waste, producing secondary aluminium and recycling and recovering aluminium waste and salt slags. This activity especially contributes to reducing CO2 emissions compared to the primary aluminium sector.

Industrial waste management:

We are leaders in the Spanish market for hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste management by volume of waste. We are also a major player in Latin America in the countries in which we have a presence (Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru).
