Acting as a driving force behind the transition towards a circular economy is part of our purpose.
We look towards the future of our stakeholders, focusing on recovery and regeneration across the board. On municipal waste, we have already exceeded the recycling targets set by the EU, sending a residual share of the waste to landfills, but not only that: over half of industrial waste is recovered in the form of material and energy. We do this with attention to air quality, thanks to plants with emissions well below legal limits. We regenerate soil, reclaiming and reusing it for our new plants, and we have committed to reduce our water consumption and to promote the reuse and regeneration of wastewater, in a circular action that aims to limit the extraction of new resources from the environment.We look towards the future of our stakeholders, focusing on recovery and regeneration across the board.
