Processing waste by transforming it into energy
Thanks to waste-to-energy plants, electrical and thermal energy is recovered from waste. This energy shows advantages for the environment because it saves primary energy resources and avoids the production of greenhouse gases genera- ted by power plants that use fossil fuels. A part of municipal solid waste is transferred to dedicated plants and burned to produce electricity, making good use of waste that might have ended up in land ll. This alternative fuel is the so-called RDF (Refuse-derived fuel).
Objective Zero Waste
In recent years, the company is following the “Zero Waste” strategy, aiming to reduce the use of land lls and increase the recovery of materials.
Quality and Controls
We operate in accordance with UNI EN ISO 9001 and UNI EN ISO14001 to ensure that we meet the needs of quality manage- ment system and simultaneously the need of stakeholders.
We also follow the EU Waste Framework, which provides the legislative for the collection, transport, recovery and disposal. With regard to the EU Framework, waste have to be treated in sites as close as possible to the production site, returned to the economic cycle and securely disposed if not otherwise usable .
All these steps are subject to strict procedures and controls to ensure an appropriate environmental management.
