FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about collection, scrap buying, raw materials and paperwork.

Zikloa

What does Zikloa do?

We provide waste management solutions: we collect, buy, process and recycle materials from companies and plants, and we supply recycled and virgin raw materials. We promote the circular economy and help businesses cut costs by reusing resources.

Which materials do you recycle?

Non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, bronze, aluminum and aluminum cans), ferrous scrap, cardboard, paper and plastics (PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS and engineering plastics). We also offer metal chip drying.

Do you buy scrap or charge to collect it?

It depends on the material and volume. Metals and materials with market value are purchased; for other waste we design a collection scheme that lowers your total disposal cost. You get a clear proposal once we understand your operation.

What containers do you use?

Roll-off containers of 15, 20 and 30 m³, plus grapple cranes for bulk material. We help you pick the size and frequency based on your volumes.

Which cities do you serve?

We operate in Nuevo León (Monterrey metro area) and Mexico City (Santa Fe). Ask us about projects in other industrial areas.

Do you provide recycling paperwork?

Yes. We provide weight tickets and material traceability documentation, useful for audits, waste management plans and sustainability reports.

Do you sell raw materials?

Yes. We supply Nylon 6 and 66, blue and black virgin polypropylene, ABS, PC/ABS, polystyrene, polyethylene, cardboard, pallets and desiccants. See our raw materials catalog.

How do I request a quote?

Fill out the contact form, call (+52) 55 4444 4231 or email contacto@zikloa.com. Tell us what material you generate, the approximate volume and where your plant is.

Scrap metal buying & selling

How is my scrap priced?

Based on the metal type, its cleanliness grade, the volume and current market benchmarks. Clean, sorted material gets a better price.

Do you buy small volumes?

We focus on businesses and industry. For small volumes we can schedule consolidated pickups.

Do you provide paperwork?

Yes. Every transaction includes a weight ticket and material traceability documentation.

Metal chip drying

What kind of chips do you dry?

Iron and aluminum chips from machining processes such as turning, milling and drilling.

Should I separate chips by metal?

Yes. Keeping iron and aluminum chips separate —and free of trash— allows better drying and a better price.

Waste collection

What container size do I need?

It depends on your volume and material type. 15 m³ containers suit moderate volumes or dense materials; 20 and 30 m³ work for cardboard, plastic or high volumes. We help you choose after a site visit or audit.

Do you collect any day?

We work with scheduled frequencies (daily, weekly or biweekly) and also offer on-demand pickups, subject to route availability.

Which areas do you serve?

We operate from Nuevo León (Monterrey metro area) and Mexico City. Ask us about coverage for other industrial areas.

Material processing

Which materials do you process?

Plastics (PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, ABS, nylon), ferrous and non-ferrous metals, paper and cardboard.

Can I get my processed material back?

In some cases, yes: material can go back into your process as raw material. We evaluate it by type and volume.

Raw material supply

Do you supply virgin material too?

Yes. Besides recycled and reprocessing grades, we supply virgin Nylon 66, filled virgin Nylon 6 and blue and black virgin polypropylene.

Can I request samples or a data sheet?

Tell us your application and volume, and we'll share the technical information available for each material.

Comprehensive recycling for businesses

How is this different from collection?

Collection hauls material; comprehensive recycling designs and runs the whole program: assessment, separation, training, logistics, processing and reporting.

Do you help with sustainability reporting?

We provide volume data by material and traceability documentation you can use in environmental and ESG reports.
