Agrifood waste treatment

CAP Group has authorised certain plants for the delivery of liquid industrial food processing waste with the aim of offering the area a network of plants nearby to which businesses can deliver waste, reducing the impact of the transport of waste by road and the resulting pollution.

Our plants offer R code treatment operations, that is “recovery”, in response to the aim of promoting circularity and sustainability within the process thanks to the production of biogas and energy, in addition to D code treatment, that is “disposal into water bodies”, making use of the treatment plants’ the remaining capacity.

Quotations for deliveries are calculated according to the type of waste and its chemical and physical properties. To request a quotation as a waste producer or broker, it is necessary to write to the addresses detailed below, attaching a full analysis of the waste and providing the quantity of the delivery and the frequency.
