UNIRIMA - Unione Nazionale Imprese Raccolta, Recupero, Riciclo e Commercio dei Maceri e altri Materiali

UNIRIMA, Unione Nazionale Imprese Raccolta, Recupero, Riciclo e Commercio dei Maceri e altri materiali, nasce dalla fusione di Unionmaceri e Federmacero per dare voce unitaria alle due anime del settore ovvero gli "Impianti di Recupero/Riciclo carta" e "Commercianti di carta da macero" e quindi rappresentare e tutelare le imprese attive nel settore della raccolta e del recupero, riciclo e commercio della carta da macero e di altri materiali recuperabili. Agli impianti di recupero/riciclo aderenti ad UNIRIMA vengono conferite le raccolte differenziate, in prevalenza di carta e cartone, provenienti sia dai Comuni che da attività commerciali, artigianali, industriali e terziarie. L’intero settore conta circa 700 impianti con una produzione di circa 6,6 milioni di tonnellate carta da macero. UNIRIMA è la principale e più grande federazione italiana di imprese di tale settore industriale e si pone come punto di riferimento di questo comparto storico dell'industria "green" italiana che fin dalla sua origine ha rappresentato un perfetto esempio di economia circolare riutilizzando gli scarti e il macero per la produzione di nuova carta.
