Product

Iron and metal recycling is becoming increasingly important. Recycling helps us to conserve natural resources. Metals are important raw materials for industry. By remelting them, they can always be returned to the economic cycle Compared to extracting ores, melting down scrap saves energy and resources. Metal recycling is therefore not only more sustainable than the extraction and mining of new raw materials and mineral resources, but also more sustainable for the environment.

Over the years, iron and metal recycling has become increasingly important, which is why the processes for recovering metals from complex objects have been continuously developed. As a result, we are now able to meet the needs of our customers and supply the various metals in the required qualities.

Whether this is shear scrap, cupola scrap, sheet metal waste, heavy scrap (E3), etc.

Logistics

Thanks to our specialization in logistics, we are able to put together complete sea shiploads within a very short time.

This is mainly thanks to our network of suppliers, with whom we have a long-standing partnership. Our suppliers mainly come from Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France. We use all means of transport such as cargo ships, rail and trucks.

Environment

For most logistics kilometers, we rely on environmentally friendly and efficient bulk transport via inland waterway vessels. This is directed via the Rhine to seaports all over the world. With our location in Ghent, we have a major advantage here. The port in Ghent has a very high draught, which enables us to handle seagoing vessels with a loading capacity of up to 50,000 tons. In addition, we have a direct connection to rail facilities in the seaport in Ghent, as well as in the Rhine port in Basel. Their length allows us to load and unload block trains, which also makes us more efficient in this process.

Dismantling / demolition

In addition to the processing and transportation of iron and metal, we also carry out dismantling work in which we recover the metal for recycling.
