This transaction contributes to the execution of the strategy aimed at doubling the capacity of its subsidiary Aliplast to over 210,000 tonnes per year of high-quality recycled plastic raw materials, consolidating its leadership in the sector in Europe. The acquisition will be finalised by the end of 2026.

The €100 million project, launched in 2019, has been completed to support local regeneration and the circular economy. sede Hera 110x150.jpg centrata Ravenna, June 16, 2026 – The Ravenna environmental hub, a center dedicated to the circular economy and industrial waste management, is now a reality. The project by Eni and Hera, and in particular their subsidiaries Eni Rewind and Herambiente, represents a model based on industrial regeneration and ecological transition: thanks to the environmental remediation activities carried out by Eni Rewind, which owns the area, and to a total investment of €100 million, a 26-hectare decommissioned site located within the Ravenna district has been restored and repurposed for a new industrial development initiative The Ravenna Environmental Hub’s facilities will help reduce the structural shortage of plants for managing special waste in Italy, maximizing material recovery and reducing reliance on landfills. In particular, the HEA platform - a joint venture between HASI (Herambiente Servizi Industriali) and Eni Rewind - is one of the most significant integrated industrial waste management projects in Italy. The HEA platform is a multifunctional facility for the pretreatment of special waste, both solid and liquid, from industrial and remediation activities. It will replace the historic HASI storage platform in Ravenna, introducing more advanced technologies, greater capacity, and increased operational flexibility to meet the needs of Eni Group operations and the wider industrial market. With a treatment capacity of up to 60,000 tons per year and a multi-line plant configuration, the platform enables a wide range of operations, from storage and repackaging to shredding and mixing. Its main objective is to maximise material recovery and reduce disposals, increasing the efficiency of operations and supporting economies of scale. The HEA platform is strategically important for Ravenna, a major industrial district and one of Italy’s largest producers of special waste. It contributes strengthening local treatment capacity, reducing transfers to facilities outside the region or abroad, and providing companies with more efficient local services. It supports competitiveness, operational continuity and the development of new circular supply chains as well. The Hub also hosts Eni Rewind’s biorecovery plant, which can treat up to 80,000 tons per year of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils from remediation activities. The plant uses a biological aerobic biodegradation process to treat soils which can then be reused as backfill in remediation sites, minimizing the use of virgin materials. A dedicated chemical laboratory managed by Labanalysis Environmental Services, an Italian sector leader in which Eni Rewind holds a stake, will monitor processes and ensure compliance. In addition, Plenitude, an Eni subsidiary, has also built a renewable energy production facility as part of the Hub. Operational since 2024, the photovoltaic plant has a capacity of 6 MWp and covers 11 hectares, with more than 10,000 installed panels. The plant optimizes energy production by using solar panels which can capture light on both sides and are mounted on mobile structures that follow the path of the sun throughout the day. These structures are installed on special supports placed directly on the impermeable cover built as part of the site’s permanent safety measures. In April 2026, the project added an experimental energy storage system based on a new generation of vanadium flow batteries. The system has been completed and connected to the existing photovoltaic installation. Eni Rewind began the overall redevelopment of the Ca’ Ponticelle area in 2019 implementing environmental remediation activities. In 2021, the works had been completed to permanently secure the area, which was once part of a petrochemical complex. In 2023, following the update of the Municipality of Ravenna’s Urban Plan, construction began on the new environmental infrastructure that is expected to become operational in July 2026. “The Ravenna Environmental Hub is being developed on a site deeply rooted in Enihistory. We have transformed the decommissioned Ca’ Ponticelle site into an environmental platform capable of combining remediation, industrial redevelopment, and industrial competitiveness. The site is strategically positioned to meet market needs and will host Eni Rewind’s first two waste treatment plants, alongside the more than 40 plants we operate in Italy for water treatment” said Paolo Grossi, Chief Executive Officer of Eni Rewind. “Our environmental services offering is further enhanced by bioremediation plants for soil recovery and by the industrial waste pre-treatment platform, developed in partnership with Herambiente. The Ravenna Environmental Hub is a concrete example of sustainable development, and we hope it can serve as a replicable model in other regions to reduce infrastructure gaps and the environmental impact of waste management.” “With the new multifunctional HEA platform within the Ponticelle Environmental Hub, the Herambiente Group is taking another step in strengthening its position in industrial waste management. The project is part of a development path aimed at creating a unique plant system in Italy that helps bridge the country’s infrastructure gap and reduce waste exports abroad,” said Andrea Ramonda, Chief Executive Officer of Herambiente. “The HEA facility, developed through the joint venture with Eni Rewind, is equipped with the best available technologies and is designed to maximize the recovery of materials and energy. It will efficiently manage flows related to Eni Group activities and those of the wider market, with tangible benefits for the competitiveness and operational continuity of the local production system. The project also strengthens Ravenna’s strategic role. Herambiente first launched its operations here, and the industrial zone is now part of a circular economy hub serving the industries across Central and Northern Italy.” “The Ravenna Environmental Hub is the result of a vision that began to take shape in 2019, when we started working with Eni, Hera and all the stakeholders involved in the redevelopment of a strategic area such as Ca’ Ponticelle. Today this project shows how environmental regeneration can become a driver of industrial development, innovation, and skilled employment. Ravenna is reaffirming its role as a major national energy and industrial hub, with an increasingly strong focus on the circular economy and sustainability,” said Michele de Pascale, President of Emilia-Romagna Region. “The ability to reclaim disused areas, develop technologically advanced facilities, and create new supply chains linked to material recovery represents a key lever for the future competitiveness of the territory. This investment strengthens Ravenna’s role as one of Italy’s leading laboratories for ecological and industrial transition and offers new opportunities for economic and employment growth for the city, the regional production system, and future generations.” “Today, from Ravenna, a strong message is being sent to the country through a project that combines industrial reconversion and environmental protection, representing a strategic infrastructure not only for our city but also for Italy. This is the model we would like to set the course for the future: fewer landfills, more recovery, more skilled jobs, and investments in photovoltaics, with a view to advancing the circular economy” said Alessandro Barattoni, Mayor of Ravenna. “Thanks to an investment of €100 million, a 26-hectare former industrial site, fully reclaimed from an environmental standpoint, will host new initiatives supporting industry, waste cycle management, and the ecological transition, under a model of competitiveness that combines productivity with environmental sustainability.” Scan here to access the media kit For more information about the HEA platform, visit the website: https://ha.gruppohera.it/herambiente-group/hea 2026-06-16 sede-hera-110.jpg
