Acea has been investing in the circular economy for years. The activities carried out in the environmental chain aim to create value from the waste treated through its use in the energy production process and its transformation into high quality compost for agriculture. The commitment to the circular economy also takes concrete form in the integration with water activities for the recovery, treatment and disposal of sludge deriving from the purification stage of the integrated water service.
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.
