ACIN Recycling Metals

Who we are

ACIN Recycling Metals

Catalan company specialised in the collection, sorting, processing and recovery of metal waste

Our mission

We transform waste into resources

ACIN was founded with a clear goal: to close the lifecycle of metals. We collect, process and recover all types of metal waste, returning them to the industrial chain as high-quality secondary raw materials.

With our own facilities in Catalonia, a specialised technical team and internationally recognised machinery, we are able to manage all types of metals — ferrous and non-ferrous — with maximum efficiency and environmental responsibility.

We are currently executing three PERTE projects co-funded by the EU through the NextGenerationEU Plan, enabling us to lead the transition towards a real circular economy in the metal recycling sector.
