Green Supply Chain and the Energy Recovery Plant in Abruzzo

Environmental protection is one of the key challenges of our society in which you want to combine this with the needs of future generations. The prevention and minimization of waste production is therefore one priority. It is well-known in Italy how data on the use of recycling is registering a growing trend, even by users such aspects are evaluated with a growing importance, however, recourse to the use of the landfill is in Italy still very high (53%).This work focuses on the downstream phase of the waste collection and seeks to define the possible environmental strategy to be adopted in the Abruzzo region. In fact, the location of the plant, the choice between a centralized or decentralized if it were possible to fix the area of expertise on a regional and non-provincial basis and the system design choices are critical for a proper environmental policy. These choices even if they aspire to help reduce air pollution, must have their financial and / or economic justification. It is therefore necessary to quantify the profitability of a plant with energy recovery compared to the use of landfills.
