A leader in industrial waste
treatment and in the recovery
of oils and inorganic materials

Grassano S.p.A is the company that owns and manages the hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste storage and treatment hub of the same name located in Predosa (Alessandria), a state-of-the-art facility and the latest in a line of achievements for this company that has existed since 1957.

Today this facility is a crucial hub for several different raw materials collection and recovery supply chains. For example, it is a leader in the collection of oils and waste oil emulsions, oil filters, batteries, accumulators and other WEEE.

The different processing lines within the hub make it possible to manage both solid and liquid industrial waste, as well as a wide range of treatments to ensure that waste is fit for its final disposal destination. Grassano operates as a qualified partner for businesses in the field of oil refining, the petrochemical sector, and the chemical-pharmaceutical industry, thanks to its established ability to ensure that by-products are managed in the safest manner, its highly certified and consistent final disposal solutions, its specialists in the rehabilitation of contaminated sites, and its ability to store liquid waste in its own large tank farm and solid waste in its own tanks and storage units. The reconditioning and the physico-chemical waste treatment performed at the plant make it possible to optimise flows towards affiliated final disposal sites both in Italy and abroad.

Grassano's processes are certified under the UNI EN ISO 9001 quality management system. It also holds environmental management certification UNI EN ISO 14001, as well as UNI ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certification.
