Waste is the new oil, although for decades the cost to dispose of it has been high, both in economic and environmental terms. Now with the new project of the Circular Districts, thanks to its proprietary technologies, NextChem - a Maire Tecnimont group company that was conceived from the concept of energy transition, circular economy and green chemistry - is able to produce new products and raw materials for industry from waste, contributing to the reduction of emissions. Di Amato explains: «During the States-General of Economy held last June, convened by the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, we presented NextChem's Circular District model, which represents a solution for both reducing the amount of waste disposal as well as for the green conversion of industrial sites in the petrochemical and steel industry, traditionally based on resources and raw materials of fossil origin». «Waste is the new oil» explains Fabrizio Di Amato, Chairman of Maire Tecnimont.
