The City of Naples has taken a significant step toward sustainability and efficient waste management. Mayor Gaetano Manfredi announced the signing of the contract for the construction of the city's first composting plant. The announcement was made during the first day of the General Assembly of the Environment, currently underway at the Stazione Marittima in Naples, which will conclude on Friday, June 14.
The plant will be built in the Ponticelli neighborhood and the construction site is expected to be completed soon. "It will take about two years to build the plant," said Manfredi, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure for the city. "This is a very important signal because it means creating and building an infrastructure that will allow us to reduce costs."
The mayor highlighted the crucial challenge that Naples is facing: increasing separate waste collection and decreasing disposal costs. "It's a complex process, but we're moving forward with determination," Manfredi stated. Naples has currently reached 40% separate waste collection, a positive achievement but not enough for the city administration. "We're not satisfied; we want to reach the national average. Today, our goal is 50%."
