Material recovery from industrial wastes
Waste management is one of the main problems which modern industry has to face. The true challange is turning waste into a resource.
Many wastes contain significant amounts of valuable materials which can be recovered through innovative technologies, with two important advantages: the reduction of waste volume and environmental risk and important economic returns.
