Antipollution implements an integrated and innovative waste management practice, focusing on the production of alternative fuels and raw materials on a daily basis. This approach has led to a significant reduction in the quantities of waste sent to landfill through energy recovery processes. Specifically, the company receives and processes waste streams originating from port facilities, industrial units, and local authorities, with the goal of converting them into:

• Alternative Fuels (SRF, RDF, ASF), used as substitutes for conventional fuels in energy-intensive industries, where recovery operations are carried out.
• Alternative Raw Materials (ARM), produced through the treatment and stabilization of mainly inorganic sludges and residues. Stabilized non-hazardous waste is further utilized, reinforcing the principle of reuse.

Waste reception, storage, and management take place at appropriately licensed and modern facilities, using state-of-the-art equipment and under the supervision of specialized and trained personnel. On-site chemical laboratories ensure continuous monitoring and quality control at all processing stages. All procedures comply with strict environmental and technical standards, guaranteeing high levels of safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Particular emphasis is placed on the proper and meaningful application of the waste hierarchy, as defined by European and national legislation. At the initial stage, incoming waste streams are sorted at Antipollution’s facilities to remove recyclable materials, which are then separated and forwarded for further recycling. Subsequently, the remaining waste is directed to appropriate processing lines, aiming either at producing alternative fuels (recovery), or at generating stabilized materials suitable for reuse. This distinction reflects a multi-layered approach and demonstrates the company’s commitment to minimizing landfill disposal and maximizing all possible forms of material utilization. Through this model, Antipollution puts into practice the core principles of the circular economy.
