Madera Urbana (Tecmasa)

Wood recovery and recycling

Madera Urbana is the brand used by Tecmasa, a company specializing in wood-waste recovery and part of the multinational Sonae Arauco group. Its work includes collecting, sorting, and processing discarded wood for recycling or energy recovery.

Services and process

Wood delivered to the company’s facilities goes through a technology-controlled recovery process that includes transportation, storage, sorting, cleaning, and volume reduction. The recovered wood is then sent for recycling or energy recovery.

Madera Urbana operates its own wood collection and recovery facilities. It also has agreements with most municipal recycling centers so that wood discarded by residents can be recycled at its processing plants. Municipal collection services and other businesses in the wood industry also bring wood waste from their customers to recovery facilities.

• The company manages wood waste for the City of Alcorcón after winning a contract issued by Esmasa, Alcorcón’s municipal cleaning services company.
