Waste analysis, characterisation and classification

Valagussa Laboratori (company of Gruppo Valagussa) supports companies, treatment plants, environmental consultants and public bodies with chemical and physical analyses for waste classification, identification of the correct EWC code, assessment of hazardous properties and verification of suitability for recovery or disposal.

Correctly classifying waste requires specialist expertise and in-depth knowledge of the process that generated it. That is why we support our clients from defining the required analyses through to interpreting the results, providing comprehensive technical support in compliance with applicable regulations.
