Why not reuse waste instead of throwing it away?
Why not transform it into real resources?
It's not always possible, but in recent years various markets have increasingly been moving towards a green direction, not only for ethical and environmental reasons but also to access new development opportunities, economize internal processes, and increase competitiveness by embracing innovation. A notable case is the Biocosì project, which aims to use the wastewater from the dairy supply chain to produce bioplastics for packaging and food preservation, which are biodegradable and compostable. The project is by Enea (National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) which states through Valerio Miceli: “This innovation inspired by the principles of the circular economy with the goal of ‘zero waste at the end of the process’, not only addresses ethical and environmental needs but also economic ones, related to the high costs of dairy wastewater disposal, allowing for a reduction of about 23 percent in the unit production cost of the biopolymer.” This is just one of the possibilities, and a virtuous example to look at as a model of approach, which reconfigures the concept of “wastewater”, leveraging it as a true “green” resource, promoting among other things energy savings and recycling. A conscious and rational management of wastewater can then, not only in dairy sector companies, generate profit and margins. In addition to the evident reduction of environmental impact. Benefits, therefore, at 360 degrees. Sometimes to find new drives and stimuli, one does not need to look externally, but simply to structure internally in a more current and forward-looking way. No secret formula, just listening to the earth and nature, and aligning ourselves with the environment that hosts us, in order to generate fruitful virtuous circles.
