Ingeco provides a non-hazardous waste disposal service.
Non-hazardous waste management
We carry out waste treatment activities at our Agrate Brianza plant, which is authorised to handle up to 29,000 tonnes per year. We follow a procedure developed thanks to the long experience of our technicians and the training of our experts. Each operational step is aimed at ensuring maximum efficiency and the achievement of highly relevant objectives in terms of recovery of reusable materials and optimal management of non-recoverable materials.
The two moments of our activity
Our operating system includes:
- an initial intervention dedicated to the maximum valorization of all recoverable fractions present in the waste, through particularly accurate manual and mechanical sorting.
- a subsequent intervention dedicated to the management of non-recoverable material: to minimize the environmental impact, we process the residual waste with special machinery to obtain the greatest possible quantity of waste to send to waste-to-energy plants for energy production electric. Only the residual part, not otherwise recoverable, is sent to landfill.
We operate according to the following phases
PHASE 1: CONTACT AND EVALUATION
After contacting our sales office and a subsequent telephone assessment (with possible exchange of documentation), we send one of our technicians for an inspection dedicated to:
- verifying the presence of any containers for storage.
- identification of the positioning.
- verifying the suitability of the waste in relation to the type of activity.
If the customer is a waste treatment plant, we also examine:
- the waste produced.
- the matrices that compose it.
- the packaging method.
We carry out these assessments to define whether, after treatment, there are any further recoverable fractions or whether it is more suitable to deliver to a waste-to-energy plant or a landfill.
Furthermore, each matrix is classified through visual inspection, laboratory analysis and specific approval sheet in order to support our technicians for the correct incoming and outgoing planning from the plant.
At the end of the evaluation phase, our sales office delivers the technical-economic offer to the customer.
PHASE 2: TRANSPORT AND COLLECTION
Once the offer has been accepted, our technical office is activated, which will check the documentation to evaluate the best possible management of the waste within the plant, and the operational office, which will coordinate with the customer to agree on the transport methods and any supply of necessary equipment (containers, press containers and/or specific setups), whether the transport is carried out by the customer or entrusted to Ingeco (or one of the companies belonging to our Group). In the second case, we will prepare the necessary means and complete the collection of the waste from the customer. Before collection, the environmental technical office will examine the authorizations of the producers, plants and transporters.
When the customer is a treatment plant, we also offer the possibility of agreeing on a weekly schedule to make the service simpler and more efficient.
PHASE 3: WASTE MANAGEMENT
The activity inside the plant begins with the weighing of the means of transport which is subsequently directed towards the appropriate unloading area based on the information communicated to the technical office.
Once unloading is complete, the plant manager carries out a check on the waste to validate its conformity with what is indicated in the approval documentation and/or in the customer sheet and in the waste transport form relating to the load.
Once the check has been passed, the material is subjected to a manual and mechanised sorting operation, aimed at capturing the fractions that can be recovered such as paper and cardboard, wood, pallets, plastic packaging, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastic films and rigid plastics, textile fractions, etc. etc.
The remaining non-recoverable part is subjected to further processing, carried out with specific machinery, to obtain the greatest possible quantity of waste to be sent for waste-to-energy for the production of electricity. What remains, following this further treatment, is not usable in any way and is therefore deposited in the appropriate area for waste destined for disposal in landfill.
