What we recycle

Plastics

Plastics are composed of polymers i.e., compounds made of many small molecules.

Ferrous metals

Ferrous metals, primarily composed of iron, include materials like steel and cast iron, which are commonly found in construction, manufacturing, and transportation.

Non-Ferrous metals

Non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and titanium, do not contain iron and are valued for their resistance to corrosion and high conductivity.

Paper

Recycled paper is a versatile material that can replace or supplement virgin pulp to create new products like packaging, newspapers, and insulation.

Textiles

Textiles, including both synthetic fibers like polyester and natural fibers like cotton, are integral to daily life, with global production nearly tripling since 1975.

Tyres

Tyres contain multiple valuable materials such as rubber (75%), steel (15%) and textile fibres (10%).

Construction & Demolition

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste includes materials like concrete, bricks, wood, metals, glass, plastics, and hazardous substances such as asbestos.

End-of-life Vehicles

End-of-life Vehicles (ELVs) contain valuable materials like metals (steel, aluminum), plastics, rubber, and glass, as well as batteries.

E-waste

E-waste, otherwise referred to as waste electronical and electronic equipment (WEEE), is mainly composed of non-ferrous metals (nickel, copper, lead, etc.

Ships

End-of-life ships are decommissioned vessels that contain valuable materials like steel, metals, and electronics, along with hazardous substances such as asbestos, oils, and toxic chemicals.

Who we are

ECOMONDO 2025

When & where

4 November 2025 - 7 November 2025

When & where

4 November 2025 - 7 November 2025

Ecomondo is the international benchmark for ecological transition and the circular economy: the 28th edition promises to exceed all expectations with a program full of innovationsvisionary projects, and unmissable opportunities for companiesstart-upsresearchersinnovators, and policymakers. You can visit Ecomondo from November 4 to 7, 2025, in Rimini.

Ecomondo 2025 is not just an event, but a global platform to create new alliances, explore opportunities, and shape the future.
From workshops to panel discussions with leaders of the circular economy, every participant will have the chance to be inspiredlearn, and contribute to the transformation of our planet.

the event is structured into major thematic areas: from waste valorisation, to the regeneration of soils and agro-forestry and food ecosystems; from bioenergy to the use of waste as secondary raw materials. It also includes the entire integrated water cycleenvironmental monitoring, and the protection of marine and aquatic environments — as well as topics such as spacesatellite monitoringprecision agriculture, and smart cities.

Additional exhibition halls are dedicated to vehicles and components for waste handling, lifting, collection, and transport, including SAL.VE, the biennial expo of ANFIA, associations of companies from the ecological vehicle sector.

Six vertical districts complete the offering, with a focus on the textile and paper supply chainstrenchless technologiessustainable cities, and startup-driven innovation.
