With a deep commitment to environmental protection and the development of the circular economy, Shijaku Group operates one of the largest and most organized scrap collection and processing facilities in Albania. This activity represents a key part of the company's vision to develop an industry that combines economic efficiency, modern technology, and environmental responsibility, reintegrating metal waste into the production cycle as valuable resources.

This center carries out the processes of collecting, sorting, processing, and recycling metals—including iron, aluminum, copper, and various industrial alloys. These operations are conducted in an organized and controlled manner, aiming to maximize material recovery and reuse while minimizing waste and its environmental impact.

As part of the modernization and expansion of its scrap processing capabilities, Shijaku Group has invested €1.2 million in modern shredding machinery. This technology enables the efficient shredding and processing of metal scrap, preparing the material for subsequent stages of sorting, recovery, and recycling in accordance with European standards.

Investing in shredder technology significantly increases the capacity and efficiency of the processing operation, improves the quality of recovered materials, and enables more controlled management of metal waste. At the same time, it contributes to higher recycling rates, reduced waste volume, the conservation of natural resources, and a lower environmental impact.

Each stage of the process is monitored by specialized staff, ensuring the proper handling of materials and compliance with safety and sustainability requirements.

Through this activity and continuous investment in technology, Shijaku Group contributes directly to the development of the circular economy in Albania by transforming metal waste into new industrial resources. The scrap collection and processing facility thus represents a sustainable waste management model, where materials re-enter the economic cycle and gain a new life through recycling.

This sector remains an essential part of Shijaku Group’s commitment to a more modern, efficient, and environmentally responsible industry.
