All the grinding and reuse phases of the industrial waste take place at the plants in Montelupone and Montecassiano (MC).<br><br>The project\u00a0<strong>LIFE GREEN COMPOSITE<\/strong>\u00a0was able to tackle one of the main challenges of the composite materials sector: the recovery and reuse of production waste of acrylic mineral composite sinks. A sector, that of kitchen furniture, which in Europe consumes more than\u00a0<strong>21,000 tonnes of raw materials<\/strong>\u00a0(monomer, polymer and quartz), generating approx.\u00a0<strong>3,600 tonnes of mineral industrial waste containing<\/strong>\u00a0polymers.<br><br>Being\u00a0<strong>green at origin\u00a0<\/strong>means transformare something that is already available into a resource, giving value to external and internal production waste and not affecting natural resources that are not rinnovaable.
