At ACTECO, they work hard towards a fully integrated management recycling and recovery process for both hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste. Their plants are involved in all aspects of this process such as equipment hire, waste collection, transportation, storage and conditioning, as well as recycling and recovery, or, where necessary, waste disposal, thus contributing to a circular economy. At their premises, they correctly manage any hazardous and non-hazardous waste in full compliance with the current legislation, while providing advice in order to obtain all environmental certificates required to successfully complete any audits or inspections. Therefore, their environmental consulting service can provide the ultimate level of support for those that require additional assistance. They help companies to meet their environmental liability obligations and to project an image to match their commitment towards customers and society in general. Their social and environmental commitment towards people and nationwide institutions is central to our business, as evidenced by their constant support of R&D&I and their partnerships with technology entities such as AIDIMME, AIMPLAS and AIJU, in addition to their certifications endorsing the quality of our work (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SONY GREEN PARTNER, R&D programme by the Ministry of Industry).
Acteco Productos y Servicios como gestores de residuos se va a encargar de recoger residuos posconsumo generados en la región de España, con el fin de obtener una muestra representativa de los residuos generados en la misma. Una vez recogidos se triturará el material y se pasará por la línea de densado para poder separar los diferentes materiales de los que se compone el residuo. Una vez realizada esa separación se realizarán las mezclas de polímeros indicadas, de esta manera se obtiene un residuo homogéneo que ya puede ser utilizado en el proceso de pretratamiento, así como proporcionar material a los Institutos Tecnológicos para que puedan realizar su caracterización tanto física como química. Además, contribuirá en las tareas de caracterización del residuo gracias a la utilización de equipos de Calorimetría de Barrido Diferencial para conocer los puntos de fusión de las mezclas preparadas o la cantidad de cargas inorgánicas presentes en la mezcla gracias a la reciente instalación de una mufla.
