Description

The “Arma dei Carabinieri”, national gendarmerie of Italy, installed the Solution at one of the Carabinieri barracks, in Rome, to minimize the environmental impact through on-site treatment of organic waste while avoiding any risk of disruption. The project began in April 2021, via a “Global service” contract enabling the customer to make no initial investment costs but rather pay an all-inclusive monthly fee. A training course for the canteen staff was carried out after the installation, along with weekly inspections and on-the-job training for the operators.

Impact & Result

  • Eliminated the need to transport organic waste to a centralized facility 600 km away, cutting associated greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Minimized the environmental footprint by managing organic waste locally at the Carabinieri barracks.
  • Provided training and ongoing support to staff, ensuring efficient operation and reducing reliance on external resources.

Solution Spotlight

Acea has launched Acea Smart Comp, an innovative distributed composting project for managing organic waste, in line with the challenging goals set by the European Commission regarding the recovery of materials during the process for "closing the loop" in the waste cycle. Acea Smart Comps are local composting plants equipped with revolutionary sensor technology that transforms organic waste into compost on the spot, using an aerobic process that produces ready-to-use fertilizer. This initiative creates a new approach focused on proximity, which closes the gap between where the waste is produced and the place where it is processed. Distributed composting targets large customers (shopping malls, cafeterias, airports and stations) that need to manage large quantities of organic waste. The first Acea Smart Comp was installed in the Acea cafeteria, which will become organic waste-free.
