THE MATERIALS THAT OUR PRODUCTS ARE MADE OF OFFER A GREAT VARIETY OF
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES
GALVANISED STEEL
Galvanised steel is a type of steel which undergoes a certain treatment, at the end of which it is coated
with several layers of zinc which protect it, avoiding oxidation. Recycling zinc helps reduce demand for
new materials and, as a result, generates considerable energy savings, as it is a metal that constitutes a
very valuable and sustainable resource.
For proper recycling of galvanised steel, it is advisable to visit a metal waste collection centre.
ALUMINIUM
Recycling aluminium guarantees an endless variety of environmental benefits. The use of recycled alu-
minium saves 95% of the energy used in its production from the material’s raw state. It can be recycled
as many times as desired and is fully recoverable. Therefore, recycling aluminium is both technically and
economically profitable.
Therefore, to ensure proper disposal of aluminium, it is recommended that this material be left at a
specialised waste collection centre.
CABLES
Recycling electrical cables prevents the contamination that can be caused by these elements. Recycling
cables allows for the subsequent use of the copper, aluminium and brass the cables contain, once they
are separated from their plastic insulation.
Electrical and electronic waste must be taken to clean points for proper recycling.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is an iron alloy containing nickel and chromium to protect against corrosion and rust. Its
qualities include resistance to high temperatures and notable strength. Stainless steel is an infinitely re-
cyclable "green material". Its properties make it ideal for exposure to poor weather conditions.
Therefore, to ensure proper disposal of stainless steel, it is recommended that this material be left at
a specialised waste collection centre.
