ABOUT US




Contento Trade (see the organization chart) was born in 1987 thanks to a group of researchers coordinated by Mrs Maria Pia Contento. 

Initially, the company operated mainly as a research center in the environmental field, developing new systems for recycling, reuse and valorization of the industrial waste. It also carried out researches on new materials for the building industry. 




The  company’s structure is subdivided in four operative units that work independently to insure an optimal management of the reserved information: 


Over the years, our company continued to operate successfully in the research sector, registering various patents and participating in its realization by organizing research programs and developing projects at the EU level. A course of this activity is documented in the Projects section of this web-site.

Starting from the moment of its foundation, our company carried out numerous research projects for the external companies. This usually implied resolving specific technological issues most commonly related to the production-related wastes treatment and valorization. Contento Trade obtained excellent results in this sector and an invaluable experience in problem solving concerning many types of waste recycling. A report on the wastes treatment typology and the reference list could be found in the Production section of this web-site.
