Pianigiani Rottami S.r.l., located in San Gimignano, Italy, specializes in the recovery and valorization of various waste materials, including Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The facility is equipped with advanced technological systems to efficiently process and extract valuable components from WEEE.

Materials Processed and Extracted:

Ferrous Metals: Recovery of iron and steel components from large household appliances and other electronic devices.
Non-Ferrous Metals: Extraction of metals such as aluminum and copper, commonly found in cables and electronic parts.
Plastics: Separation and processing of various polymers for recycling purposes.
Electronic Components: Removal of electronic boards and capacitors for specialized treatment.
Processing Methodology:

WEEE items, particularly those categorized under R2 (e.g., washing machines, dishwashers, cooking equipment), are manually disassembled by trained operators. This process involves the removal of components such as cement, glass, wood, electronic boards, and capacitors. The remaining ferrous materials are subsequently processed in a shredding mill to facilitate further separation and recovery.
