Montello S.p.A. is located in the homonymous municipality in Bergamo city (in the north of Italy) in an industrial area of around 450,000 m2, 125,000 of which are indoors and has a staff of 740. It is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 18001 and ISO 50001 certified and operates in the 2 following business activities:
1)
Treatment, recovery and recycling of about 695,000 tons/year of organic waste, including Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from separate collection.
The adopted process calls for:
- a first phase of anaerobic treatment generating biogas which, through an upgrading process, produces biomethaneused as automotive biofuel, with recovery of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) which is suitable to be reused in industrial production cycles, including food applications;
- a second aerobic composting phase from digestate sludge, with production of high quality organic fertilizer.
In summary, 90% of input organic waste is recovered / recycled while the remaining 10% of undesired in the above mentioned processes residual waste is recovered as Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) and it is sent to cement plants and to energy recover plants.
2)
Sorting, recovering and recycling of about 300,000 tons/year of post-consumer plastic packaging waste from separated urban collection.
The integrated process first separates the different types of plastic by polymer (PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, etc.), which are then treated to produce secondary raw materials in form of flakes and granules.
In summary, 75% of input plastic waste is recovered / recycled and transformed into secondary raw materials while remaining 25% is recovered as Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) and it is sent to cement plants and to energy recover plants.
