The Group, controlled by the Stirling Square Fund, is among the global pioneers of the circular economy and, thanks to continuous growth achieved both internally and through targeted acquisitions, has made sustainability its strategic axis through the offer of innovative services integrated, with high environmental and social value.
- “A further step forward – comments Marco Codognola, CEO of Itelyum – in support of a sustainable production system. We not only reach larger market shares, but we can offer optimal environmental solutions for the circular economy sector. The strategy and priorities proposed for the European Green New Deal and the new circular economy action plan, which focus on the use of sustainable sources especially in resource-intensive industries, require eco-innovative solutions and products, efficient processes and services in order to activate an effective “metabolism” of waste. As Itelyum we will continue in our mission to cultivate synergies and professionalism to give the right support to the development of sustainable industry”.
