Eligibility criteria

The material should comply with strict eligibility parameters

Extensive control along the supply chain and multi-subject control

These checks are performed in the countries of origin by the clients, in the points of entry in harbors and airports, at customs, where containers’ packaging is scanned, as well as its content which is also sampled and analyzed by several actors along the journey.

Qualified staff and technological resources: radiometric controls are performed by specialized tools and technologies in order to comply with the highest regulatory standards

Involvement of specific authorities for materials coming from abroad: the acceptance procedure requires the presence of authorities of transit and the Region Tuscany.

Characterization sheet for each material

We receive materials that we can process in our facilities and that are safe for our employees and our territory. We request samples of the materials prior to any agreement, in order to determine not only the type of service needed and its cost, but especially the chemical and physical properties of the materials and whether we are willing to receive it.
