Urban waste recycling and treatment

The philosophy of FCC Medio Ambiente is based on treating waste as a resource, reusing and recycling it as much as possible and taking advantage of the energy in waste, when this is feasible.
FCC Medio Ambiente operates the most extensive and varied range of treatment plants in the world, including various types of mechanical recycling, composting, biomethanisation and value recovery systems. In many locations many different technologies are combined to ensure that the resources in the waste are as much recovered as possible.
