From Decommissioning to Sustainability: Your Vision, Our Value
Managing the decommissioning of electrical infrastructure is not a mere logistical operation, but a complex regulatory and environmental challenge. Given the nature of SF₆, a gas with a high climate impact, and the strictness of F-Gas regulations, choosing the right partner is crucial to transforming a potential business risk into a competitive advantage.
Synecom does not limit itself to offering a standard disposal service: we guarantee a turnkey solution that transforms a management burden into a success story and environmental responsibility for your company.
Specialized Electrical Waste Management
We are an authorized center specialized in treating the main waste streams deriving from the electrical sector, guaranteeing a certified and compliant process:
- Gases under pressure (EWC 16 05 04 / 16 05 05): Safe collection and management of SF₆ gas, including mixtures contaminated by acidic post-electric arc by-products, managed with advanced protection protocols.
- Discarded equipment (EWC 16 02 13 / 16 02 14): Professional dismantling and global takeover of HV/MV electrical switchboards, circuit breakers, and GIS units.
- Industrial components (EWC 16 02 15 / 16 02 16): Safe treatment and recovery of insulators, operating mechanisms, and specialized technical components decommissioned from plants.
3 Strategic Advantages for Your Company
- Simplified bureaucratic management: Environmental compliance should not slow down your business. We support you in risk mapping, planning every operational and administrative detail. We guarantee transparent and compliant document management, assuring you complete legal indemnification from the moment the material is taken in charge by our plant. No bureaucratic complexities, just efficiency.
- Transforming waste into a resource: the End-of-Waste model: Why consider something a cost if it can be regenerated? Thanks to our technologies, we transform exhausted SF₆ gas into a high-value resource. Through the End-of-Waste process, the gas is purified and reintroduced into the market as a regenerated raw material, optimizing your supply chain and transforming a disposal intervention into a concrete Circular Economy project.
- Certified traceability for the ESG Report: Every kilogram of regenerated gas translates into a measurable reduction in emissions. Our entire operational process is certified according to the highest international standards: ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 9001 (Quality), and ISO 45001 (Safety), in full compliance with CEI/IEC standards. We provide clear and rigorous documentation, ready to be integrated into your Sustainability Report as tangible proof of your concrete commitment to stakeholders.
Frequently Asked Question
What you need to know
For specific requirements, contact our engineering team
How does Synecom simplify the management of decommissioned assets?
We manage the entire operational flow: from the safe collection of equipment and SF₆ gas, up to specialized treatment at our authorized plant. We provide complete and certified traceability documentation, guaranteeing your team the necessary data for transparent environmental reporting without administrative burdens.
Can you manage SF₆ gas decomposed following an electric arc?
Yes. Our technical teams and facilities are specifically certified for the treatment of highly contaminated gases. We have advanced neutralization and extraction systems capable of safely managing mixtures containing toxic or acidic by-products, ensuring the protection of the environment and the workplace.
What makes the End-of-Waste (EoW) certification an advantage for ESG metrics?
Unlike traditional disposal, which involves the thermal destruction of the gas, our End-of-Waste process regenerates SF₆, restoring its quality to international standards. This transforms an environmental cost into a valuable resource, allowing your sustainability managers to report the project as a concrete Circular Economy and carbon emission mitigation intervention.
Do we need to extract the SF₆ gas from the switchboards before collection?
No. We offer a complete turnkey solution. We are authorized to take charge of both bulk gas cylinders and entire decommissioned electrical assets (MV/HV switchboards, switches, and GIS units). We directly manage safe transport, dismantling operations, and gas recovery, eliminating any operational complication for your team.
