Sustainable development
The recycling of non-ferrous metals fits perfectly into the concept of the circular economy. Indeed, although recycled, metals retain their physical and chemical properties and are almost infinitely recyclable.
Our daily action contributes to the preservation of natural resources by putting back on the market raw and secondary materials that do not require further extraction or refining.
In this way, the recycling process avoids the disposal of materials in landfill sites.
In addition, the recycling of secondary materials generates much less CO2 than the primary production of metals. At JGI-HYDROMETAL, we go even further since our innovative processes consume very little energy. Therefore, our recycling activities reduce the impact of human activity on the environment.
