The Company

Montello S.p.A. is located in an industrial area of approximately 450,000 square meters, of which 120,000 are covered.
Up until the end of 1995 it was a steel industry for the production of reinforcing steel bars.

In 1996, after repeated crises in the national steel industry, the decision was to close the steel industry company (Brown Economy), converting the plant into recovery and recycling of packaging waste in post-consumer plastic and organic waste from separate waste collection (Green Economy) which, at that time, began to become popular in Lombardy.

And that is how the concept of waste/resource towards a Circular Economy begins.
With this production reconversion, today the company Montello S.p.A. employs 840 people (compared to the 320 who were employed at the time of the closure of the steel industry company).

Currently, at the Montello (BG) plant, 350,000 tons/year of post-consumer plastic packaging are recycled, from which Secondary Raw Materials and End-of-Waste products are obtained. Additionally, 765,000 tons/year of Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) from separate collection are processed to produce biogas, which is then used to generate both electricity and heat, as well as biomethane for transportation. At the same time, biogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) is recovered for technical and industrial use, including the beverage industry, and a high-quality organic fertilizer is produced, used in agriculture as a substitute for chemical fertilizers.

The company has obtained, over the years, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001 certifications. From the month of October 2017 the company has also obtained certification in sustainability of biomethane produced for automotive use.

Montello S.p.A. is an example of excellence, both nationally and internationally, for an integrated system and applied advanced technology.

In 2025, the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) awarded Montello S.p.A. the Legality Rating with the highest score.
