Stena Recycling Srl (Impianto Angiari)

Stena Recycling S.r.l., located in Angiari, Verona, operates a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the processing and recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The plant specializes in recovering valuable materials from WEEE, with a particular focus on plastics.

Materials Processed and Extracted:
Plastics: The facility processes plastics from WEEE, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE). These plastics are sorted, cleaned, and transformed into high-quality granules suitable for applications in the household appliance and automotive sectors.

Non-Ferrous Metals: The plant also recovers non-ferrous metals, including aluminum and copper, from electronic waste. These metals are extracted and sent for further metallurgical processing.

Processing Technologies:
Stena Recycling's Angiari facility employs advanced technologies to ensure efficient and environmentally friendly recycling processes:

Separation Techniques: The plant utilizes density separation, electrostatic separation, and X-ray technology to distinguish different polymer types and remove contaminants.

Extrusion: Two twin-screw extruders are installed to produce plastic pellets, allowing for the incorporation of additives to modify the final polymer properties.

Quality Control: An in-house laboratory conducts mechanical and physical tests on each batch to ensure the quality of the recycled materials.

By implementing these processes, Stena Recycling S.r.l. contributes significantly to the circular economy, transforming WEEE into valuable secondary raw materials and promoting environmental sustainability.
