Strategies and technologies for transforming metal scrap into new raw materials to benefit the environment and business competitiveness.

In an era where environmental responsibility is crucial, Cantù Ottone has implemented a circular economy model to manage processing waste in a virtuous way. Every production phase—from laser cutting to milling, from bending to painting—generates metal residues that, if not handled properly, become a source of pollution and additional costs. The company has adopted separate collection systems and automated sorting, capable of separating brass, steel, aluminum, and copper with high purity.

Subsequently, the scrap is directed to in-house recycling processes or delivered to specialized partners, ensuring its reuse in new production cycles. This practice not only reduces environmental impact but also brings significant economic benefits: reducing waste lowers disposal costs, while recovering materials decreases the need to purchase virgin raw materials.

To support this strategy, Cantù Ottone has invested in advanced filtration and extraction technologies to minimize dust and particulate emissions, improving air quality inside the plant and protecting the health of its employees. In addition, the adoption of low-impact paints and the use of less toxic solvents confirm the company’s commitment to cleaner production processes.

The company also promotes continuous monitoring of energy consumption, with the installation of smart sensors to optimize the use of electrical and thermal energy. With a view to continuous improvement, production and recycling data are analyzed each year to identify new opportunities for savings and further emission reductions.

Thanks to these initiatives, Cantù Ottone not only complies with the strictest environmental regulations but also builds a sustainable competitive advantage, offering the market high-quality metal components with a low ecological footprint.
