How We Operate

At our plant in Via De Gasperi, located in Gorlago (BG), the following operations are carried out upon arrival of the loads of waste.

1) Incoming checks:

• checking and verifying the accompanying documentation (forms)
• visual inspection of the waste and, if necessary, sampling for further analysis
• Verification of the weight of the waste entering the plant
• radioactivity control for metal waste (iron, steel, copper, aluminum, etc.)

2) Waste storage:

• The waste delivered is unloaded in dedicated areas, divided by type

3) Sorting and selection:

• carried out by mechanical means and/or manually by qualified personnel;
• separation of materials destined for recovery (paper, wood, rubber, plastic, ferrous and non-ferrous metals), from those that cannot be recovered, to be sent for disposal

4) Handling:

• use of loaders, self-propelled cranes, forklifts, trucks with cranes and roll-off bodies

5) Compaction:

• by hooklift presses, baling presses and shear presses

6) Shredding:

• The fixed plant is mainly dedicated to the shredding of selected vulcanized rubber

7) Departure to the final destination:

• the waste, after any radiometric control, leaves the plant as EoW (End of Waste) or as waste to be sent for material or energy recovery, or as a non-recyclable fraction to be disposed of in landfills or specialized plants, according to the European waste hierarchy
