More than 16 million citizens in Italy are already served by AHP separate waste collection services (the trend is growing: +1 million per year).
The PNRR has financed the construction of 15 plants in Italy for the recycling of used AHPs.
It is estimated that in Italy, every year, 3 landfills are created, filled and closed to treat waste from AHP.
Large multi-utilities and global industry leaders are demanding an urgent solution to the AHP waste problem.
