SCART®: the beautiful and useful aspect of waste

Waste can become sofas, lamps, games, and musical instruments. But even stage sets, art objects and installations. How? We'll tell you about it in this project.

To transform waste into art and everyday objects to raise awareness and positively influence the mentality of recovery and reuse.

This has been the goal of the SCART® project for over 20 years. It is an ecological initiative based on the desire to breathe life back into materials that become waste every day. The result is, sofas, armchairs, tables, chairs, lamps, drawers, games, musical instruments, clothing, and installations, but also scenery for shows and costumes.

There are many initiatives at the Italian and international levels under the SCART® brand. 

From the prestigious conventions with the Academies of Fine Arts of Florence, Bologna and Ravenna which, every year, involve numerous students in seminars and workshops at the Hera Group's facilities in Santa Croce sull'Arno and Pisa, to the creation of costumes and stage components (for example, for Andrea Bocelli's 2012 concert at the Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico). 

Also, on the occasion of the 2019 edition of the Barcolana, the historic international sailing regatta held every year in the Gulf of Trieste, the symbolic "Alice" was made from waste: a giant 10 metre long sardine was set up in Piazza dell'Unità, using about 5 thousand bottles and plastic bottles. 

SCART® is an invitation to reflect on new intelligent, creative, and above all sustainable lifestyles and contributes to achieving targets 12.2, 12.4, 12.5, and 12.8 of the UN’s 2030 Agenda.

Ferrara, the city of "green" heat

What's Ferrara's green secret? It lies underground, where a geothermal reservoir powers the city’s district heating system. As a result, 95% of the thermal energy distributed in the city is clean and we avoid about 26,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Biodiesel has been developed also from used food oil

Fuel may also be extracted from vegetable oils. Used domestic vegetable oil (such as frying oil) which is recovered by multiutility services via roadside containers and drop-off points, is transformed into biodiesel, which in turn is used to fuel the vehicles used for urban waste collection.

Dialogue with the urban context for new energy: the Borgo Panigale cogeneration plant

District heating is already in itself a "sustainable" and environment-friendly solution, because it can guarantee better performance than traditional domestic boilers. In addition, the plant located in Borgo Panigale ensures lower emissions into the environment, more reliability and greater availability of energy. The system can heat the equivalent of 8,000 residential units. Currently, the turbines can produce 35,000 MWh of energy per year, almost twice as much as in the past.
