Managing the special waste produced by a company is no simple task. Between constantly evolving regulations, strict bureaucratic requirements, EWC codes and the search for a suitable disposal facility, the risk of making mistakes (and incurring severe penalties) is high.

In this scenario, many businesses believe that the only option is to contact a haulier or an individual facility directly. However, there is a key role provided for in the Consolidated Environmental Act (Legislative Decree 152/06) that radically simplifies this process: the waste intermediary without storage.

Let’s look at the strategic role that Saneco plays in this supply chain and why relying on an authorised intermediary represents a solid operational and economic advantage for your business.

Who is a waste broker and what do they do?

The intermediary is, to all intents and purposes, the ‘orchestrator’ of waste management. This is a professional registered with the National Register of Environmental Operators (in Category 8) who organises the recovery or disposal of waste on behalf of third parties, without ever physically taking possession of the waste itself.

The intermediary does not merely bring together ‘supply and demand’, but analyses the needs of the waste producer and identifies the most efficient, transparent and legally compliant supply chain.

The benefits of working with Saneco

1. Access to the best facilities and cost optimisation: A single waste disposal facility has limited capacity, specific authorisations for only a few EWC codes and rigid price lists. Saneco boasts an extensive network of certified partners (transport operators and final disposal facilities). This enables us to always select the most technically and economically viable solution for your specific type of waste.
2. Full regulatory compliance and elimination of risks: The waste producer’s liability (known as ‘shared responsibility’) ceases only upon receipt of the fourth copy of the FIR (Waste Identification Form) signed by the final disposal facility. Saneco verifies in advance the authorisations of all parties in the supply chain, ensuring the processes are fully compliant and protecting your company from administrative and criminal penalties.
3. Reducing red tape: From the correct classification of waste to the allocation of the EWC code, from the verification of chemical analyses to the management of forms: we take care of all the paperwork, allowing your staff to focus entirely on their core business.
4. Focus on the Circular Economy: In line with our corporate vision, our brokerage services do not simply aim for ‘disposal in landfill’. Our priority is to find facilities capable of channelling waste into material recovery (R) operations, transforming industrial waste into a new resource.

To relieve the customer of any complications

Choosing Saneco as your intermediary means having a single, qualified point of contact for all types of business waste, whether hazardous or non-hazardous, liquid or solid, on an ongoing or occasional basis.

Instead of having to manage multiple contracts with different transporters and treatment facilities, Saneco coordinates the entire logistics and administrative chain, offering transparency, security and the assurance that your waste is managed to the highest standards of sustainability.
