Rigid plastics recycling, one of the most innovative plants in Europe in Modena

04 April 2024

Work is under way in Modena to build one of the most innovative plants on the European scene for the recycling of rigid plastics. Hera, through its subsidiary Aliplast, will create a state-of-the-art plant in which it will be possible to obtain high-quality recycled polymers with characteristics comparable to those of virgin materials, obtained from fossil sources. Up to 30 thousand tons of high-quality recycled polymers will be produced each year from rigid plastic waste, such as those used in computers, electronics items, everyday bottles and automotive components, which are among the most difficult to recover effectively. The amount of plastic recycled in one year by the plant when fully operational will save emissions of about 30 thousand tons of CO2 equivalent. The total investment supported by the Group amounts to about 50 million euros, 7.7 of which is financed through PNRR funds. The work is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
