Hera announces the birth of 'Aliplast' in Modena, which aims to be one of the "most innovative plants in Europe" in the recycling of rigid plastic materials.
The multi-utility project, for a total investment of 50 million (of which 7.7 are financed with Pnrr funds), will make it possible to obtain, starting from plastic waste that was previously difficult to recycle, high quality polymers (30 thousand tonnes of polymers recycled every year) with performances similar to those guaranteed by virgin materials.
The goal is to make sectors such as consumer electronics and automotive increasingly sustainable.
Work on the construction of the system has already started in recent days within the Modena hub in via Cavazza.
"We are proud to present this project which, in addition to strengthening our plant park, will give a further boost to the important contribution that the Hera group has been providing to the Italian recycling industry for years - explains Orazio Iacono, CEO of the Hera Group - This plant will be a driving force for achieving of resource circularity objectives, especially in sectors such as the consumer electronics and automotive industries, also with the aim of promoting increasingly circular and short Italian supply chains".
"We give further concreteness to the theme of sustainability and the ecological transition which is characterizing our commitment to urban planning and environmental choices - explained the mayor Gian Carlo Muzzarelli - and we make new employment opportunities available to the territory and a tool to support the circular economy".
