Find out how the circular economy search engine of rMIX.it works: ferrous and non-ferrous metals, scrap and recycled semi-finished products just a click away

Global demand for raw materials is growing at an unsustainable rate, while the need to reduce the environmental impact of industry is increasingly pressing. In this context, the recycling of metals — ferrous and non-ferrous — represents a key resource for the circular economy. The recovery and valorization of metal scrap allows to reduce the use of natural resources, reduce emissions and support cleaner and more sustainable production.

rMIX.it was born with this very objective: to offer a concrete digital tool to promote the exchange of recycled materials between companies, environmental operators, foundries, builders, retailers and plant managers. The platform allows you to search, publish and consult offers and requests for scrap metal, recycled semi-finished products, industrial decommissioning materials, in a rapid, geolocalized and transparent way.

This guide takes you step by step to understand how to make the most of the search features on rMIX.it , whether you are looking for recycled metals to buy or whether you want to sell scrap or recycled materials.
