Eco Green

What Eco Green does

Eco Green s.r.l. is an Italian B2B aluminium recycling company headquartered in Villafranca di Verona that specializes in the collection, sorting, processing, and recasting of aluminium scrap and leachates. The company serves two primary customer groups: Italian manufacturing companies that produce aluminium scrap as a byproduct of their operations, and re-user foundries that consume processed, specification-grade recycled aluminium as kiln feedstock. A secondary European industrial customer segment is targeted through sustainability-aligned positioning. Operations are organized across two specialized facilities: the Villafranca di Verona plant, focused on scrap processing, preparation, and marketing, and the Nogara plant, focused on recasting — both located in the Verona industrial corridor.

The company's underlying technology is a three-stage treatment process encompassing material selection and sorting, shredding, sieving and separation, pressing and baling, and centrifugation and briquetting. Quality assurance is anchored by quantometer laboratory analysis for alloy homogeneity verification and radiometric analysis for material purity control. Eco Green holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, Carbon Footprint of Product certification, and EU Regulations 333/11 and 715/13 certifications, alongside plant-level environmental authorizations, national transport authorization, and Albo Intermediario Category 8 registration. Renewable energy infrastructure includes over 450 KW of photovoltaic panels across the two sites, reducing operational carbon intensity in line with EU sustainability standards.

Eco Green operates a dual revenue model: a transaction-fee stream charging customers for collection, transport, processing, preparation, and recasting of aluminium scrap, supplemented by a commodity-resale stream where processed aluminium is marketed in extruded or laminated forms to foundries. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales across the Italian territory, supported by an owned fleet of trucks, sliding trailers, cranes, and various container types, with third-party carriers supplementing capacity. As of April 2026, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) announced an agreement to acquire an 80% stake in Eco Green, positioning the company as EGA's European recycling platform with combined network capacity targeted above 400,000 tonnes per year.
