Not just waste but material to be reused

What are the essential ingredients to promote the circular economy? What are the activities to enhance and maximize waste recovery? Let’s start from here, tracing a path that is rooted in a holistic, complete and concrete approach that puts resources and the environment at the center.

Indeed, enabling the circular economy in the context of waste means promoting sustainable practices that can have a positive impact on the environment, society and the economic system.

It is a paradigm shift. A shift from a linear model “take, produce, throw away” to a circular model “recover, produce, reuse”. This approach involves a complete rethinking of the concept of waste, less and less waste materials and more and more resources to be enhanced, reused, transformed and reinserted into production cycles.

This innovative vision not only helps reduce the environmental impact, but can also contribute to the economic growth of the country, as also underlined by the Deputy Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Vannia Gava, who points out that in a country as poor in raw materials as ours, it is essential to focus on the production of second raw materials through recycling systems oriented towards the circular economy.

But how to do it?

Let’s go back to the ingredients, precisely, identifying a blend of solutions based on circularity.

So let’s talk about advanced waste recovery plants, like those that the Gruppo Esposito has been designing and building for over 20 years with the aim of maximizing raw material recovery.

These are innovative and patented technologies capable of recovering over 90% of incoming waste, transforming waste into certified raw materials or into actual finished products that can be allocated to various industrial sectors.

But that’s not all, it’s also necessary to improve the efficiency of separate waste collection and waste management systems at municipal and regional level, as well as to structure a favourable legislative framework and policies to support businesses that want to invest in recycling and sustainable waste management.
