Authorized capacity of 75,000 tonnes per annum
In line with its commitment to circular economy and sustainable development, Acea’s activities include selecting and recycling paper, iron, wood, plastic and metal.
In the provinces of Terni and Ancona there are four plants for the selection and recycling of paper, iron, wood, plastic and metal, with a total capacity of over 145,000 tons per year. At these plants we also recycle production and packaging waste and manage waste disposal, mainly on behalf of Corepla (“National Consortium for the Collection, Recycling and Reuse of Plastic Packaging”).
The Beinasco plant is Acea’s first center for processing and recycling plastics. The Beinasco facilities, in the province of Turin, were built in 2006 and underwent subsequent revamping in 2015.
Authorized capacity of 75,000 tonnes per annum
The plant is a Secondary Sorting Center (SSC) which carries out sorting and recycling of plastic and plastic-metal packaging from separated household waste, in particular from the Valle d'Aosta and Piedmont.The center which is approved by Corepla, the National Consortium for the Collection and Recycling of Plastic Packaging, is highly automated and has an authorized capacity of 75,000 tonnes per annum. The plant operates in line with European policy on the circular economy, which plans to make 100% of plastic packaging recyclable by 2030.
Terni also has a waste-to-energy plant fueled by pulper residuals, non-recyclable paper waste that would otherwise be destroyed. The plant processes 100,000 tons of waste per year and is one of the largest in Italy for amount of pulper residuals converted into electricity, an average of 75,000 MWh/year.
