Sustainability and projects

Our sustainability commitment ​

At Riwald Recycling, we are dedicated to driving circular entrepreneurship and promoting a sustainable future.

Our business strategy is firmly rooted in the Circular Framework, which guide us towards a circular economy with 100% recycling. As a leading European metal recycling company, we play a crucial role as a global supplier in the circular chain of sustainable material usage.

Our circular approach is based on the 3R strategies – Recover, Reuse, and Recycle valuable ferrous and non-ferrous metals, transforming waste materials into over 150 types of sustainable raw materials through advanced recycling processes. We are passionate about being a “circular hub,” where all flows converge, creating a closed-loop system that minimises the need for new raw materials. By embracing innovative technologies and continuous research, we maximise the recovery of raw materials and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2.

Riwald Recycling actively aligns its sustainability strategies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We take our role as a circular chain leader seriously and strive to set an example in the industry. Our energy-efficient operations, in-house energy management, and sustainable transport fleet further contribute to reducing our environmental impact. As a company deeply committed to a greener future, we engage in the CO2 Performance Ladder initiative, where we continually measure, monitor, and adjust our energy consumption and CO2 emissions to achieve our reduction targets.

Together with our dedicated team and partners, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of high-tech recycling to ensure the efficient transformation of waste streams into valuable raw materials. At Riwald Recycling, we believe in creating a cleaner environment, promoting a circular economy, and supporting the energy transition to build a sustainable world for future generations.

Future vision

In today’s world, strategic partnerships are crucial. They bring organisations together, using their strengths and goals to achieve shared objectives. Our partnerships go beyond just being formal agreements; they represent the idea of working together to achieve more. By teaming up with suppliers, joining forces with technology experts and collaborating with academia, we not only grow but also nurture the skills we will need in the future.
