At Valorsul, what you no longer value and have therefore thrown away becomes a resource again, a raw material that can be transformed into a new cardboard box, a new glass bottle, electricity, fertiliser for agriculture or materials for building a new road.
More than recovering waste, EGF values people's quality of life.

Ensuring that waste is recovered in the most sustainable way in its various areas of activity, guaranteeing demanding environmental standards, exemplary social practices and the creation of value, positioning the company as a beacon of innovation and an environmental benchmark.
