—URBAN HYGIENE AND RECYCLING SERVICES

We had a dream.

“We started in 1987 with recycling, as pioneers making bold choices at that time. We turned our dreams into action”.

These have been years of targeted objectives, exploration, choices, and changes, years of constant commitment and many satisfactions. If we had to choose only one word to mark the path taken so far, it would be this: awareness. Awareness that a good business idea becomes successful only if nurtured with passion for what one does. Awareness that great goals are achieved only with good teamwork. Awareness of the value of good relation- ships, those that last over time, those on which we can still rely years later.

National recognitions:

We are pleased with the milestone achieved in differentiated waste collection, the numerous and widespread communication campaigns launched with citizens, the 80 municipalities served starting from 0.5% collection and reaching 80% with several national recognitions. With the acquired awareness, we look to the future to face new scenarios.

—MISSION

Ethics and Social Responsibility

In this perspective, “sustainability” becomes a strategic objective. We have embraced the principle of responsibility formulated by the philosopher Hans Jonas: “Act so that the consequences of your actions are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life on earth.” We have endeavored, as much as possible, to humanize our work and, as a local business, to develop our actions in an increasingly ethical direction.

Sustainable Development, Our Common Goal

Through participatory involvement, we have sought, and will continue to do so, insights for improvement in the various legitimate expectations of all stakeholders: customers, employees, institutions, suppliers, and local communities with whom we interact.

Our hope is that those directly or indirectly involved in our activities use this website to better understand our way of operating, to offer constructive criticism, and to provide stimulating suggestions in order to consistently achieve new and rewarding goals for increasingly sustainable development.
