The activities carried out by the environmental chain bring value to waste through the various industrial treatment processes. We produce electricity through waste-to-energy plants. We produce compost and biogas from sewage sludge and the organic fraction of recycled municipal solid waste. We manage plastic recycling.
Acea has been investing in circular economy for years. A commitment that results in transforming organic waste into high-quality compost, integration with water activities for sewage sludge processing derived from the depuration stages and plastic recycling management.
The Terni plants in Umbria and San Vittore del Lazio generate electricity from the combustion of waste, reducing volume and conferrals into landfills.
In Orvieto, Umbria, Acea manages an important municipal treatment pole. Here, we work to obtain the greatest possible recovery of materials and produce biogas to be used in the energy production chain.
