Global waste generation has reached unprecedented levels. This rise in waste, coupled with stricter environmental regulations and sustainability targets, poses a significant challenge to traditional waste management systems. National policies and international agreements set ambitious goals to reduce waste, increase recycling rates, and limit landfill use all of which require sophisticated, adaptable waste management solutions.

The current waste management infrastructure is under pressure to balance efficiency with environmental impact, particularly in light of the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan and related initiatives. There is a pressing need for integrated systems that not only optimize collection and disposal but also promote responsible waste practices across communities. To achieve these goals, a data-driven, interconnected approach to waste lifecycle management has become essential.

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) represents a fundamental development opportunity for Italy to bring about changes that will benefit society as a whole, redefining the contours of the country’s economic, social, and cultural fabric.

Technology represents the great enabling factor of this transformation: the digital revolution today requires us to rethink our world not only in terms of efficiency but also sustainability.

Engineering has always sought to improve the world in which we live and work through the use of cutting-edge technologies. The NRRP accelerates and supports what has always been our mission: to be the main partner for the transformation of the country, from companies to institutions.
