A Part of a Circular Group
Circular business practices are ingrained in the DNA of Square Group. Aclagro, as a contractor, handles demolition, remediation, and soil decontamination. From the very beginning, we've been committed to recycling and reusing waste from the construction sector. Through our recycling centers at AC Materials, we recover these waste streams, ensuring that 99% can be reused as secondary raw materials in our other entities. With Oryx Projects, we also facilitate the redevelopment of brownfields, and through the terminals of DD Shipping, we strive to transport goods as much as possible by water. This way, we keep the circle closed within our group.
