Thanks to the approval, we verify that the companies to which we award the recovered materials, whose sale is managed by us, meet certain technical, environmental and administrative criteria, which we consider to be essential.

In addition, the approval process ensures the companies interested in receiving the materials offers all guarantees for their correct treatment.

The approval is a certification process, which is outsourced and audited under ISO 9001 and 14001 standards.

Beginning November 1, 2025, four independent consulting firms will provide the certification service.

Each recycler or recoverer can freely choose which one they want to work with.

Details of the available certifying companies and their respective prices can be found via the following link. Please note that all prices quoted are considered maximum prices, and therefore, appropriate discounts may be negotiated and agreed upon between the consulting company and the recycler or recoverer, depending on the specific conditions of each case.
