COMMITTED TO
SUSTAINABLE RECYCLING
a broad spectrum of waste streams.
These include bottom ash from munic-
ipal and special waste incineration (fer-
rous and non-ferrous), bodies and
components from end-of-life vehicles),
packaging materials and a variety of
other industrial residues.
‘Through cutting-edge technology,
specialised processes, and over four
decades of expertise, RMB transforms
complex waste into valuable resourc-
es, reducing landfill dependency while
supporting a sustainable future.’
Since its launch more than four
decades ago, RMB has grown from a
family business collecting and trading
metals into one of Europe’s leading
multi-purpose platforms for the treat-
ment and recovery of hazardous and
non-hazardous special waste.
GROWING, TRANSFORMING
In 1981, Antonio Goffi started manual
sorting and collecting metals from the
family home. A decade later, the com-
pany received its first regional permit
for the storage, sorting and recovery
of special waste with a handling capac-
ity of 10 000 tonnes per year.
The year 2000 brought an increase in
annual capacity to 30 000 tonne, fol-
lowed in 2003 by the inauguration of a
new facility at Via Montecanale. Over
the following years, Goffi and his team
followed their dream and ambition,
with new capacity added regularly.
In 2005, the Province of Brescia
approved an expansion project that
doubled capacity, followed in 2007 by
another expansion, bringing total
capacity to almost 190 000 tonnes per
year.
CAPACITY BUILD-UP CONTINUES
By 2011, RMB obtained a permit for
recovery and disposal operations with
an annual ceiling of 320 000 tonnes.
New plants were commissioned,
including a car shredder and a sorting
plant. By 2015, annual capacity had
reached 620 000 tonnes.
The second half of the decade was
marked by innovation and diversifica-
tion. RMB registered its Resal trade-
mark in 2017, certifying a cast-ready
aluminium alloy product destined for
end-users. In 2018, it acquired and
revamped the Riam recycling opera-
tion, followed in 2020 by a new alu-
minium alloy sorting plant, strengthen-
ing its leadership in metal recovery.
Expansion continued with the acquisi-
tion of Garm – to increase metal sepa-
ration from urban waste – and Ri.
Genera, which boosted RMB’s bottom
ash recovery business. In 2022 RMB
received the green light to increase its
total recycling capacity to 780 000
tonnes per year. In 2023, the acquisi-
tions of RMI and Autore underlined
RMB’s commitment to broaden its
impact and expertise across Italy.
ROOTED IN VALUES
At the heart of RMB’s mission lies the
principle of constant improvement in
waste processing. Goffi: ‘We’re com-
mitted to recovering an ever-growing
number of fractions and transforming
them to reduce the need for virgin
resources. In line with EU regulations,
RMB works hard to minimise landfilling
by putting a lot of effort into research,
the latest technology and cutting-
edge plants.’
RMB holds the highest standards of
quality and environmental protection
while safeguarding workplace health
and safety. The company follows a
code of ethics that guarantees trans-
parent and fair relations with custom-
ers, suppliers, public institutions,
shareholders and staff.
INNOVATION PRIORITY
RMB Group’s core expertise lies in
advanced waste recovery processes,
developed over more than three
decades of continuous innovation. Its
activities span several key cycles:
e-scrap, end of life vehicles, and met-
als. The company uses state-of-the-art
shredding, sorting and screening tech-
nologies which form the backbone of
its operations: magnetic separators,
optical and x-ray sorters, and flotation
