Right from the start, Contento Trade functioned as a research lab, focusing on the applied research for the industrial waste recycling. These activities allowed Contento Trade to register a series of patents and develop a series of know-hows for the various processes and plants. Using this accumulated knowledge and expertise, the company now can offer its clients a complete waste valorization service package. Our expertise cover various industrial fields (from agro-industrial to metallurgical). Our research laboratories are fully equipped to carry out chemical, physical, mechanical and biological tests. Below you can find some of our projects: |
