1.2 million tonnes of recycled material in 2025

Galloo is one of the leading players in metal recycling in Western Europe, giving new life to metal and plastic from end-of-life consumer goods (cars, household appliances, scrap metal), demolition work and production waste. Every year, more than a million tonnes of material is collected, recycled and reused across various sectors of the circular economy.

Did you know that in 2025, Galloo recycled the equivalent of 130 Eiffel Towers in steel? That’s one Eiffel Tower every two days!

But we recycle much more than just steel. In 2025, Galloo recycled:

  • 952,906 tonnes of ferrous metals
  • 137,332 tonnes of non-ferrous metals
  • 27,144 tonnes of plastics

And you may have contributed to it!

Urban mining and circular economy

Urban mining,” or the recovery of valuable raw materials from end-of-life products, is an essential part of the circular economy, helping to reintroduce resources from consumer goods back into the value chain. Cans from household collection, a broken lawnmower, an old laptop, as well as radiators or aluminium profiles: at Galloo, every material is recycled to become a secondary raw material.

Our strength? Advanced separation of materials from increasingly complex waste streams. That is why Galloo continues to invest in new technologies and a modern machinery park, ensuring optimal quality.
