Fater Smart – Smartbin pentru reciclarea scutecelor
Absorbent products for personal use, such as diapers, make up 3-4% of urban waste, which is why the fundamental prerequisite for ensuring high recycling targets is the organization of separate waste collection services. In Italy, for example, the service is active in about 800 municipalities, serving a total of 12 million users.
In 2017, FaterSmart inaugurated the first facility in Italy capable of processing up to 10,000 tons/year of used absorbent products, transforming them into new secondary raw materials. This is a world-first technological and systemic innovation that makes a category of products traditionally considered non-recyclable recyclable, with proven environmental benefits.
In this context, it has been essential to provide both users and operators with a collection tool that encourages the separate collection of this type of waste. HENRY & CO. has been involved.
