SUSTAINABILITY AT METECO

Circularity, made operational.

We turn end-of-life materials, vehicles and equipment challenges into recoverable value—through responsible operations, reuse, recycling and long-term industrial partnerships.

From recovery to reuse and industrial solutions

Our three pillars

How we take responsibility

Everything we do is measured against three pillars of corporate responsibility — environmental stewardship, societal contribution and good governance.

Sustainability

Environment

We dedicate our people, capital and ideas to finding solutions that reduce environmental impact — from how we operate to how we help others recycle.

Growth

Society

We leverage our expertise and resources to create a positive impact on the local communities and the broader economy where we operate.

Integrity

Governance

We apply internationally recognised standards for integrated management — making our business structures and processes transparent and accountable.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PRIORITIES

Four areas where our operations create lasting value.

01

Circular materials

We return ferrous and non-ferrous metals to productive use, reducing dependence on virgin raw materials and supporting more circular supply chains.

02

Vehicle reuse & recycling

End-of-life vehicles are treated as a source of materials and usable components—not simply as waste.

03

Efficient industry

We supply equipment that supports safer handling, better material recovery and more efficient industrial operations.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PHILOSOPHY

Environmental responsibility is not a campaign. It is our operating model.

METECO operates at the practical intersection of resource recovery, industrial efficiency and responsible material management. Our contribution is created through what we do every day: recovering valuable materials, extending the useful life of automotive parts and helping businesses operate with more efficient equipment.

Recover more value

Maximise the useful materials and components recovered from end-of-life assets.

Operate responsibly

Apply controlled processes for quality, environment, health and safety.

Improve continuously

Use data, technology and better processes to reduce waste and operational impact.

IMPACT ACROSS OUR BUSINESSES

One sustainability strategy, applied through three industrial activities.

Each METECO business unit contributes differently, but all are connected by the same goal: preserving value and reducing waste.

BUSINESS UNIT 01

Metals Recycling

Recovery, processing and supply of secondary ferrous and non-ferrous materials for industrial use.

BUSINESS UNIT 02

Cars Recycling & Parts

Vehicle depollution, material recovery and the reuse of functional OEM components through AUTOLOOP.

BUSINESS UNIT 03

Recycling & Industrial Equipment

Technology and equipment that help customers handle materials more safely and efficiently, including OMNIWORK solutions.

GOVERNANCE & PERFORMANNCE

Building a clearer sustainability performance framework.

Our direction is to move from broad commitments to consistent indicators that management teams can review, compare and improve over time.

Measure what matters

Track material recovery, waste flows, energy, safety and compliance indicators across operations.

Set operational targets

Translate sustainability priorities into practical targets owned by business and site managers.

Report transparently

Publish verified performance data gradually as measurement systems mature.

Our commitment

We will avoid unverified environmental claims. Where data is not yet consistently available, we will say so clearly and focus first on building reliable measurement.

Sustainability goals

Numbers that hold us accountable

Concrete targets backed by METECO initiatives — not aspirations, but measurable commitments we report against.

For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survice; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.
