WHO ARE WE?

“We have been recovering new raw materials from waste

since 1985, managing the complete cycle whilst fully

respecting the environment. Today we can rightfully claim

to be one of the main multi-functional platforms in Europe

for treating and recovering special hazardous and non-

hazardous waste. The Environmental Integrated

Authorisation for 620,000 Tonnes was granted in 2014.”

The origins of RMB are history: a family history that takes

us back to the manual sorting of metallic waste carried out

on the doorstep and stored in the yard. Since then the

growth path has continued and to date has been

unstoppable.

The Company is firmly rooted in the local area in which it

operates and works constantly for its improvement. In fact

it uses the best technologies available to reduce the

environmental impact and contain consumption of energy

and water sources used in relation to the quantities of

waste treated.

By continually revamping plant facilities, RMB ensures a

constant improvement in the quality of its products

marketed throughout the world.


OUR VALUES

RMB’s mission is always better waste processing. To ensure recovery of a

growing quantity of exploitable fractions, which will become alternative

sources to the raw materials extracted naturally, and reduce landfill disposal

to a minimum in accordance with European directives for the sector.

To achieve this objective RMB is engaged in ongoing technological research

and the design of cutting-edge plant. Thanks to a skilled team of technical

staff the company thoroughly analyses regulations for the sector and applies

them to its operations. It carries out research and development on materials

with the primary aim of assuring maximum levels of quality and

environmental protection, whilst at the same time assuring a healthy and

safe working environment.

Bringing added value to the company are the specialist staff and highly

innovative plant facilities which every day carry out recovery and waste-to-

product transformation activities.

The company’s exemplary activity, which has already been embodied in the

Integrated Quality System, is recognised by the award of the most

prestigious certifications and registration in the WHITE LIST.

The well-established focus on improvement is also supported by the

adoption of the Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to

D.L. 231/2001 and assured by the constant presence of the Oversight Body.

The Code of Ethics regulates relations, which must be based on

transparency and propriety, between the Company and all parties that

come into contact with it. Customers, Suppliers, Public Administration,

Shareholders and Personnel.

THE PROCESSING CYCLES

URBAN WASTE

COLLECTION

END OF LIFE VEHICLES

METALS

SCRAP VEHICLES

The company has more than thirty years’ know-how in

sorting various qualities of metal by type and size. Screening

and flotation enable separation of the various types of metal

to be sent for reuse.

After end of life vehicles have been thoroughly stripped by

the car breaker, they are sent to crushing plants which

reduce their size and separate the various metallic and

non-metallic fractions.

The treatment of waste-to-energy bottom ash is the final

link in the urban waste chain, a chain that starts with

collection, continues with incineration and ends with

treatment of the residual part known as bottom ash.

THE PRODUCTION PLANTS

Metal recycling represents RMB’s historic core business and so the

company has acquired a number of hi-tech plants that can separate the

different metallic fractions (ferrous and non-ferrous) contained inside

incoming waste.

RECOVERY OF BOTTOM ASH

brochure.indd 10 12/05/15 17:09

Plant to reduce the volume of metals and separate light fractions. The material fed through a loading belt

is conveyed into the crushing unit. The use of recirculating air allows the light fractions to be cleaned by

floating and the different fractions separated using cyclones.

The smaller crushing section is dedicated to shredding waste classifiable as urban waste, the

other, recently started up, to processing motor vehicles. This is fitted with an active carbon filter

to reduce emissions.


CRUSHING MILLS

This is the jewel in the crown of RMB’s production activity: the most modern technology combined with

thirty years experience have produced high recovery standards even for the finest parts. Plants with

trommel separator (drum screen) fitted with magnets, latest technology magnetic separators, machines

with optical selectors, sorting stations for recovering ferrous and non-ferrous metals and plastics.

RECOVERY OF BOTTOM ASH

Complex-technology plant especially designed to recycle bottom ash, fitted with magnets, screens,

magnetic separators, sorting stations and mills for extracting metals of various size and separation from

the inert mineral fragment to be sent for recovery.

Facilities with washing and manual sorting for selecting the different types of metal according to their

specific weight.

In the flotation plant the material is brought into contact with process water that separates materials

having different specific weights, containing solutions with ferrosilicon additives. After being properly

rinsed the light and heavy materials exiting the two opposite sides of the flotation unit are conveyed to a

manual sorting booth for any further separation of specific product fractions.

Washing plants for the final washing of metals leaving the crushing and screening sections, also

used to remove contaminants stuck to the primarily gravelly fraction of minerals contained in the

bottom ash.

THE MATERIALS

RMB’s main objective is to recover all exploitable fractions contained in

waste, particularly metals. The purpose of the processes is to obtain MPS

and/or “end of waste” for sale or waste that is more easily recoverable in

quality terms in third party plants endowed with additional specific

recovery technologies.

The main types of materials treated are:

1. hulks of end of life vehicles and engines;

2. ferrous and non-ferrous metallic materials, resulting from

mechanical selection and sorting (e.g. scrap from motorised

vehicles and scrap in general) or other materials containing

metallic fractions;

3. materials containing metals resulting from urban waste sorting

operations;

4. inert material resulting from recovery operations carried out on

excavation earth and rock and on materials produced from the

remediation of contaminated soil or waste containing fractions similar

to sand or stones, inerts, compatible for formulating products in the

building and/or highway field;

5. waste-to-energy bottom ash;

6. other materials, containing exploitable fractions.

The incoming materials are directed to the production sections most

suitable for processing, depending on their product characteristics.

They undergo screening, separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals

using magnets and/or magnetic belts or induced currents (Foucault

parasite currents), using vibrating belts and manual sorting.

In the main the materials leaving the plant will be as follows:

• ferrous and non-ferrous materials classified as “end of waste” or

secondary raw material in compliance with the applicable regulations;

• ferrous, non-ferrous and mixed metals;

• various types and grain size of inert fractions;

• non recyclable scrap, wood, plastic rubber, glass.
