Our Services

Recovery of industrial waste as a key component of the circular economy model is a safe and environmentally responsible alternative for many industries that generate waste. Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies demonstrate that co-processing offers superior environmental performance to landfilling or incineration.

We manage waste from various industries, including: wood and derivatives, chemical and pharmaceutical, automotive and auxiliary, oil, petroleum and derivatives, rubber or plastic, cardboard and paper.

Circular Economy

Geocycle (Italy) provides an environmentally sound solution to its customers for the treatment of their waste.

Through co-processing emissions in the cement production process can be reduced and material cycles along the entire value chain can be closed. Wastes from industry and municipalities are recycled and used as thermal energy in the form of alternative fuels. As a result,fossil fuels such as coal can be replaced and CO2 emissions significantly reduced. The cement industry can also efficiently recycle mineral waste – for instance, contaminated soil from construction sites – and thus replace the natural raw materials limestone and marl.
