Metal recycling

About how we work

Roba Recycling

Globally, demand for raw materials is growing, alongside consumption. We recognise the importance of recovering raw materials from production waste and residual products. Simple. Clean. Transparent.

We are Roba Recycling. Your partner in metal recycling. Since 1937, we have been the leading specialist in the collection, processing and recycling of aluminium in particular, but also other metals. We collect, sort with the utmost precision and melt down to create new usable raw materials, without any loss of quality. In this way, we take the pressure off the European manufacturing industry, from producer to end-user.

Cradle-to-cradle

We believe in the cradle-to-cradle principle, which focuses on conserving nature and reducing the use of raw materials. We ensure that waste streams are not treated as waste, but are sustainably reused as valuable raw materials.

It also offers our European partners a number of strategic advantages:

  • Less dependence on raw materials: by keeping waste streams within Europe and recycling them, we use existing materials more efficiently
  • Improved image: more and more customers are choosing companies that prioritise sustainability
  • Future-proof: circular processes enable you to comply with stricter environmental legislation and thereby also open doors to green financing

With Roba Recycling as your trusted partner, you combine valuable economic benefits with a positive contribution to a sustainable future for people and society.

Our approach

We go beyond recycling; we close the loop. Our recycling methods are therefore focused on:

  • High-quality material recovery: using energy-efficient smelting furnaces and advanced separation technologies, we maximise the value of your aluminium production waste
  • Adhering to the cradle-to-cradle principle: as far as we’re concerned, materials are reused endlessly without any loss of quality
  • Advanced monitoring: by using smart, digital solutions, we can track material flows and optimise our recycling chain

Our hands-on, no-nonsense, ‘getting the job done’ approach translates into continuity, efficiency and convenience for you. We operate transparently, so you always know exactly what you’re getting and at what prices.

Collaboration

Our collaboration begins with a thorough analysis of your material flows in our own laboratories. We translate our knowledge and expertise into smart, tailored solutions that not only optimise your aluminium waste streams but also create value at the same time. By integrating expertise and advanced separation techniques into your processes, we support you and take the pressure off throughout the entire process. In this way, we turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. Together, we can improve your operational efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions and raw material consumption, and increase your market share by strengthening your (sustainable) image. Add value to your waste streams and discover how, together, we can turn your recycling into a return on investment.

European standards

The name says it all: European Aluminium is the organisation for the aluminium producing and processing industry in Europe. As an aluminium producer, we have been a member of this organisation since 2019. We are proud of this. Through close contact with our fellow European producers, we stay abreast of the latest developments in our sector – from technological advancements to sustainability. It also enables us to speak with one voice to European policymakers.

We manage the entire supply chain

We specialise in steel, aluminium, stainless steel, cradle-to-cradle recycling and non-ferrous metals. Machined, from stock or made to order. We manage the entire supply chain: from procurement and machining to processing and remelting in our own smelters. We offer short lead times, personalised and independent advice, and flexible contract terms. We are also happy to work with you on procurement strategies and risk management. Reliable and personalised, just as it should be.
