History of Recyberica Ambiental

From its establishment to the present, these are the main milestones that make up our business trajectory

Recyberica over the years

Since its creation in 2006, Recyberica Ambiental has been adapting to the needs of the market and environmental requirements to reach what we are today, a plant committed to excellence and compliance with current legislation at all times. Values that we try to convey to all our customers and suppliers.

RECYBERICA started its journey as a waste management company for electrical appliances in San Agustín del Guadalix.

RECYBERICA AMBIENTAL started its journey in San Agustín de Guadalix, giving continuity to the project promoted by INDUMETAL RECYCLING for the central peninsular area, for the correct management of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

RECYBERICA  was relocated to Torrejón de Ardoz in more modern facilities  and with more specialized waste treatment processes. That same year it was certified with the ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards (currently ISO 45001).

Certificado Weelabex

With this certification, Recyberica Ambiental S.L. received international recognition for excellence in the treatment of different types of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

RECYBERICA AMBIENTAL obtained its Integrated Environmental Authorization

WEEELABEX is an international non-profit organization whose function is to audit the management processes and treatment of electrical and electronic waste.

RECYBERICA  successfully passed the test dictated by RD 110/2015, carried out by technicians of the Ministry of Environment of Madrid, definitively enabling its integrated environmental authorization with respect to that regulation. Likewise, as a result of the adaptation of the WEEELABEX certification, it certifies its Management System with the CENELEC EN 50625 Standard specific to WEEE in Europe, and reaches the figure of 17,300 tons of waste managed throughout the year.

RECYBERICA expands its processes and capabilities with the new mechanical crushing and separation Line 1, which allows it to go one step further in the processing of certain WEEE and the valuation of its fractions.

Ergonomic adaptations and improvements in working conditions, such as the soundproofing of the roof for the reduction of ambient noise.

Recyberica, committed to the environment, changes its fleet of company cars to plug-in electric vehicles, and installed chargers with capacity for 4 simultaneous vehicles in the plant.

In January 2023, the installation of solar panels in Recyberica Ambiental, S.L. was completed, which allowed us to significantly reduce our energy consumption and, with it, contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.

This project has been financed with funds from the European Union, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
