| Over recent years, the attention
to the environment has become a priority objective of Vitali
S.p.A., in the conviction that the obligation and implementation
of sustainable development represent important variables in
company strategy.
Through the use of specific processing plant, Vitali S.p.A.
recycles demolition waste and transforms it into genuine raw
materials.
This process is particularly advantageous from the economic
and environmental points of view, in that it reduces the need
to excavate natural raw materials and prevents the unlawful
tipping of demolition waste.
In order to further safeguard the environment, Vitali adopts
a company policy that promotes the recycling of materials
from demolition sites.
Most demolition waste consists of inert materials, bricks,
terracotta, concrete and cement conglomerates, all of which
have a high recovery and re-use potential. A potential that
is normally not exploited, in that most of the material is
instead dumped.
It should be pointed out that Vitali S.p.A. carries out its
recycling activities through the technologically linked mechanical
phases of crushing, sieving, sorting and separation of metal
and extraneous material. The resulting aggregate is made up
of inert fractions of selected granulometry.
The material destined for recycling is first sorted in order
to remove any polluting substances. The waste is then processed
by our own avant-garde plants in which the material is transformed
into aggregate, which can be re-used as fill material or as
a road sub-base.
Recycling of demolition waste has significant advantages:
• It reduces the need for tipping sites for inert materials;
• It reduces the practice of unlawful tipping of rubble
and demolition waste;
• It reduces the need to excavate non-renewable natural
materials;
• It allows materials, such as the steel in reinforced
concrete and prefabricated elements, to be recovered.
