Objectives

Our objective is to strive for excellence in our services and the quality of our products, ensuring that we are committed to combining environmental issues with progress. This approach has allowed Chatarras Miguel Hernández to stand out positively in the sector and to establish itself as a benchmark in an area of high added value: direct involvement in nature conservation via our main activity, the recovery of raw materials for recycling.

Our Commitment

Vocation is something that is clearly visible in the end product and Chatarras Miguel Hernández is thoroughly committed to its results. This obligation is shown in the constant search for innovative solutions and the increase in investment in new technology to achieve the very best quality raw materials.

Work begins for Chatarras Miguel Hernández with the collection of iron and non-iron based products from our suppliers’ industries and warehouses. Our fleet of trailers loads and transports the materials to our warehouses where the waste checking and classification process begins. This is always carried out by highly qualified personnel.

After classification, the materials are distributed to the different recycling lines where they undergo treatments specific to the type and purity of the alloy. This is followed by the pressing, shearing, cutting, grinding and palletizing processes, etc. designed to meet our clients’ needs.

Finally, they are stored in our centers until they are sent to the foundry for smelting, where the scrap metal is returned to the production chain as a secondary raw material.

Technology is present at all stages of the production chain and is enhanced by the continuous investment in training for the team of personnel which makes up Chatarras Miguel Hernández.

In today’s world, recycling has become a hot topic for both society and the economy. Environmental scientists have been warning us for decades that the Earth’s resources are running out too quickly and this is creating a state of imbalance that cannot continue.

Recycling is the best way we can slow down the deterioration which we have subjected our planet to over the last century. The environmental benefits of recycling can be shown in many ways. It is clear that recycling and waste recovery greatly reduces the use of natural resources, but equally important, although less well-known, are the huge savings on energy and the spectacular reduction of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.

Looking after our natural surroundings is something we should all be responsible for. It is of utmost importance that all society, from the creator of a product to the end user, becomes involved and takes part in the new “3 R” concept which has arisen due to the rapid increase in the amount of solid and urban waste being produced, and which has led society to consider different approaches for new solutions to the problem: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

Our sector is directly involved in these processes of change. We are part of the solution and we have to be aware of the importance of our job.

At Chatarras Miguel Hernández we believe that our activity itself is part of our corporate responsibility policy. We participate actively in the creation of a more sustainable, more balanced world where better use is made of the resources nature provides us with. We understand that out commitment to society is based on our capacity to generate and distribute wealth via our activity as a company in the recycling sector.

Ethics, transparency, caring for the environment and safety are all fundamental in this field, as is our commitment to our clients, suppliers, the environment and society.
