History

Leader in Sicily for 25 years

Since 1990 Sarco Srl has been dealing with the management of the collection, transport, recovery and disposal of urban and special waste within an area of ​​60 thousand square meters in compliance with current regulations.

Over the years, the company has responded more and more fully to the needs of its private customers and public administrations in compliance with the Consolidated Environmental Law.

In particular, as regards the recovery of glass and the production of "second" raw material (ready-to-oven scraps of glass), SARCO SRL currently supplies the multinational OI-Manufacturing Italy SPA.

The awareness of the importance, for a truly eco-sustainable society, of the drastic reduction of waste destined for landfills, as well as the landfills themselves, led the company to build the Storage and Selection Plant in its current headquarters in Contrada Ponte Fiumarella.

The new state-of-the-art plant / structural equipment has led to a significant development of its business as shown by the numbers both in terms of employment: from 10 employees in 2008 to 40 in 2014, and of recovered materials saved from the "LANDFILL" passing from 10,000 tons . in 2008 to 45,000 tons. in 2014 of waste that has become quality raw materials certified according to the latest European regulations (eu regulation n. 1179/2012 art. 5 and eu regulation n. 333/2011 art. 6)

Development in terms of employment and separate collection that we intend to increase with new investments.

Waste has been at the center of environmental policy issues at international and European level for years. The problem of disposing of waste is growing every day more and more relevant, c on passion and dedication for the recovery and recycling of waste, Sarco Srl is acutely aware that if effectively treated, the waste is not a problem, but a resource. With the new expansion project, Sarco Srl wants to complete and improve the cycle of other waste to be used for recovery and to optimize the collection of all those waste that are currently dispersed or abandoned in the environment in an uncontrolled and illicit way .

The spread of a true ecological culture is supported through the creation of environmental education courses and educational visits carried out by schools in the province at our factory. The company's goal is to push towards solutions that better protect health and the environment and that, at the same time, are shared by citizens. Correct waste management is that which aims to reduce the quantity of materials to be brought to final disposal.

Today we represent the only plant in Sicily that operates the complete cycle of glass and metal packaging, from collection to recovery of secondary raw materials .
