After years of study in radiology, I chose to change direction and shift toward industrial chemistry, where I found my true calling. I graduated from the J.F. Kennedy Technical Institute in Pordenone, specializing in Industrial Chemistry, where I acquired theoretical and practical expertise in chemical processes, laboratory analysis, and plant management. Additionally, during my studies, I completed a curricular internship at Durante Adesivi, a company specializing in vinyl and polyurethane adhesives, as a quality control technician.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dd714f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0dd714f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How have you developed your skills at CM?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f794cc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f794cc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>My skills were developed directly in the field, working hands-on with the equipment and alongside the people who make the recovery of materials from industrial waste possible every day. At Circular Materials, I found a technical and collaborative environment where learning is continuous and practical.<br \/>I started in the production department, working alongside process technicians. Over time, I gained autonomy in managing the equipment. Each day, I learned to read process parameters, intervene in case of anomalies, and collaborate with the laboratory on quality control. I developed technical skills, but also methodology, precision, and a sense of responsibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b9a74e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b9a74e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How would you describe your relationship with the team?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddab7d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ddab7d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In one word: synergistic. At Circular Materials, I found a work environment where collaboration is real, daily, and tangible. The production department works because there&#8217;s trust, listening, and mutual availability. Whether it&#8217;s managing an equipment anomaly, optimizing a treatment cycle, or simply exchanging advice, teamwork is an integral part of the process. This cohesion makes work more effective but also more human. In a technical sector like ours, knowing you can count on the team makes all the difference.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97ec3ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97ec3ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What aspects of Circular Materials&#8217; project do you appreciate the most?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3963c37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3963c37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Without a doubt, its concrete environmental vision. At Circular Materials, sustainability isn&#8217;t a slogan but a daily practice: every piece of equipment, every treatment cycle, every recovered material is part of a process that reduces waste and restores value to what would otherwise be discarded, contributing to the ecological transition. A particularly interesting aspect of my work is using the SCP system, an innovative technology that applies a chemical-physical approach to metal recovery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60c2ed3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60c2ed3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-680a378 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"680a378\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/circularmaterials.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Riccardo-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1273\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/circularmaterials.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Riccardo-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/circularmaterials.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Riccardo-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/circularmaterials.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Riccardo-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/circularmaterials.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Riccardo-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/circularmaterials.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Riccardo-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/circularmaterials.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Riccardo-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-435dc30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"435dc30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Riccardo Zerbini<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21da227 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21da227\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Pre-Post Processing<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b964b05 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b964b05\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-530774c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"530774c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33028af elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"33028af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contact Us<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3fd4a1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e3fd4a1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interview with Riccardo Zerbini.
