Talete
Talete is the Group company dedicated to innovation in the bioeconomy and to the recovery of materials from waste. Founded in 2001 and based in Lanciano (CH), it is developing two facilities that bring back into circulation fractions currently sent to disposal: the organic substance of urban and agro-industrial waste in Manfredonia (FG), and dredging sediments and remediation soils in Città Sant’Angelo (PE).
Facilities
Integrated biological treatment — Manfredonia (FG)
- Waste treated: urban and agro-industrial organic waste (organic waste from urban separate collection and agro-industrial by-products).
- Recovered materials: biogas used both for cogeneration and for the production of biomethane through upgrading; composted soil amendment for organic farming, which improves soil structure, reduces the ecological footprint of fertilisation and helps combat desertification and the climate crisis through carbon sequestration.
- Capacity: 68,000 tonnes/year.
- Authorisation status: construction permit for the facility obtained.
- Start-up: scheduled for 2027.
Soil Washing facility — Città Sant’Angelo (PE)
- Waste treated: recovery of inorganic substances from port dredging, remediation soils and other inert industrial waste: inorganic soils and solids, including blasting sands (40% of capacity); dredging sediments and drilling sludge, in fresh and salt water (50%); waste and sludge from remediation and treatment plants (10%).
- Recovered materials: inert materials for beach nourishment, construction, clinker production and environmental recomposition works; vegetative soils for carbon farming practices and for the restoration of quarries and landfills.
- Capacity: 125,000 tonnes/year.
- Authorisation status: waste management authorisation from the Abruzzo Region, issued in March 2025, for the treatment and recovery of river and coastal marine dredging sediments; an update to extend it to excavation soils and rocks is under way.
- Start-up: scheduled for 2027.
