Bianna Recycling

What Bianna Recycling does

Bianna Recycling, S.L.U. is a Spain-based industrial equipment manufacturer and EPC contractor specializing in waste treatment and valorization. Founded in 1992 in Celrá, Girona, the company designs, engineers, manufactures and commissions turnkey plants and individual machines that transform waste into materials, energy and new products, operating across more than 30 countries through six directly-owned subsidiaries in Spain, Portugal, France, LATAM, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Turkey, plus a global distributor network. Its technology stack rests on two core platforms: MBT (Mechanical-Biological Treatment) for mechanical sorting and biological pre-treatment, and TVS (ThermoValue Solutions) for thermal energy recovery via combustion, gasification and pyrolysis, complemented by the Ways2 platform that packages three valorization pathways (Ways2 Material for raw material recovery, Ways2 Product for pyrolytic oil, carbon and syngas, and Ways2 Energy for electrical and thermal energy).

The company produces key equipment in-house across 86,500m² of owned production facilities, including trommels, biodrums, windsifters, bag openers, suction systems, mixers and boilers, and integrates computer vision and AI-based process supervision within its Ways2 Material and Ways2 Product flows. Its commercial model combines one-time capital equipment sales with engineering and consulting services, a multi-year Bianna Renting Services financing offering (3-15 year terms), and Bianna Aftersales maintenance and spare parts contracts. Target customers span food processors, agricultural operators, industrial waste managers, public administrations, chemical and petrochemical firms, data centers and isolated communities. The company has completed over 1,200 projects, holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, is a certified B Corporation, and counts Miura Partners as a 20% shareholder since April 2024 following an earlier 2021 minority investment.
