In recent years, Rimeco has intensified its focus on high-value recycling, specifically in the processing and treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Our substantial investments in cutting-edge technologies and facilities aim to further solidify our leadership in sustainable metal management. This commitment is in line with our goal to foster a green and sustainable future.
Rimeco is enhancing our focus on steel trading and has over the years become a solid partner within this specialized field, and we see significant potential for growth in promoting a green and sustainable future.
It’s worth noting that many materials we currently recycle would have ended up in landfills or been sent to countries with more lenient environmental policies not long ago.
Fortunately, new agreements are in place to prevent this, and Rimeco is one of the select companies in Europe that is equipped to uphold these standards. As we move forward, our commitment is to safely increase the recycling of materials that are presently considered non-recyclable.
