Cachanilla Recycling, a company with more than 27 years operating on the pacific coast of the state, extends its operations in Baja California with the inauguration of its third plant for recycling in Mexicali, reaffirming then its solid commitment to continue on investing in the State, creating jobs and supplying raw material for industry from recycled non ferrous metals.
This new plant put into operation with a 3.5 million dollar investment will have the capacity to receive, segregate and package more than 2 tons of metals a month, as well as employ 120 personas, among them professionals, technicians and workers.
Added to this are two other processing plants, seven collecting centers to gather materials from homes and small businesses, a plant for industrial accounts and for receiving trucks with mixed or complete loads that are handed over to by other recycling plants, a trained personnel capable of classifying, identifying and packaging the distinctive alloys of aluminum, coppers, bronze and stainless steels, all according to ISRI norms, as well as a professional sales and logistics department charged with guaranteeing that clients, both from Mexico and the 15 other clients we export to, receive the required material in the time they asked for.
This has given them the honor of having as clients world-class companies like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Hunter Douglas, among others.
Cachanilla Recycling also services businesses like window manufacturers and auto mechanics just to name a few, that generate metal waste as part of their commercial activities and benefit from the resulting profits when selling their waste at competitive prices and instant payment.
Reintroducing metal to a new life cycle
At Cachanilla Recycling we recycle more than 7 million aluminum cans a month, and this process besides saving energy also avoids more abrasive processes for our ecosystems, like the open air extraction of materials or the refinement of polluting substances to convert the mineral into metal.
This positive ecological impact is better understood after knowing that producing aluminum products from recycled raw material saves 91% of the energy it would've been required to produce out of bauxite (rock from which aluminum is obtained), or that the saved energy for producing a sole aluminum can is enough to leave a television on during 3.5 hours.
Cachanilla Recycling on the international
Cachanilla Recycling has taken up the challenge of competing in the international markets, which is why each day it strives to be more efficient in all of its processes and services, so as to offer their suppliers the best possible price and, to their clients, secondary materials of the highest quality.
Aluminum gathered at the centers, segregated and packaged, is exported to more than 15 countries on 5 continents, where it is used for manufacturing finished metal products, saving energy by avoiding the melting process.
To Indonesia, for example, we export automotive aluminum for making transmission and differential covers. In other cases, we embark the aluminum to Taiwan for manufacturing aluminum wheels that are exported to the most demanding markets in the world, like Japan.
It is worth mentioning that Cachanilla Recycling is part of the International Recycling Bureau (BIR) headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, and participates in the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries
(ISRI), which has been a facilitator for our company in its commercial trade with the U.S.
Today, more than 40% of raw material consumed by industry, comes from recycled material.
The opening of a new plant, a faithful reflection of the organizations drive
This past month of March, Cachanilla Recycling, headed by Humberto Jaramillo, inaugurated along side governor Jose Guadalupe Osuna Millan, a new plant in Mexicali, where it will service wholesale, half wholesale and retail suppliers.
During the event, Sergio Cervantes Rodiles was also in attendance, who is the President of the National Transformation Industry Chamber (Canacintra), and who thanked Humberto Jaramillo for betting on Mexico, and going forward with decisiveness and enthusiasm in industrial development, " actions like these generate more companies, more employment, more taxes, more riches, and of course, more development", he stated.
"It is important that companies firmly and consistently advance, and to get there, it is necessary to have long term vision, to assume a real commitment with industrial development, and push to expand the internal market', he added.
For his part, governor Jose Guadalipe Osuna Millan highlighted the fact that Cachanilla Recycling knows how to win the trust of global brands of great prestige, many of them settled in Baja California, " that, along with the highest parameters of sustainable development, tells us about how this company has been capable of interpreting the new way of making business in Baja California through innovation, with high international standards, with a high social sense and with environmental conscience, indispensable requirements in all productive business", he noted.
Finally, during the Mexicali plant's inauguration, he recognized the determination, dedication and effort of the workers that have labored in Cachanilla Recycling for 15 years or more.
