Scapigliato
Transformation of a waste management center into a biodiversity hub monitored with cutting-edge technologies.
Project overview
The European Union has established a clear waste management hierarchy, prioritizing prevention, followed by reuse, recycling, energy recovery, and finally, controlled landfill disposal. The latter represents a necessary, albeit last, solution for non-recoverable waste fractions. Scapigliato manages non-hazardous special waste, which constitutes about 90% of total waste produced nationally, minimizing environmental impact in line with the EU target to reduce landfilled waste to 10% or less by 2035.
Challenge
Scapigliato has chosen to collaborate with us to tackle complex challenges related to sustainable management and scientific monitoring of its site, with the aim of improving its impact on the territory.

Main KPIs monitored
Main phases of the project
Starting in 2024, Scapigliato launched an innovative biodiversity monitoring project with a particular focus on pollinators. Using Flora, the satellite technology developed by XNatura in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), the project assesses habitat suitability within the site. This system allows for comparisons between the study area and nearby control zones by analyzing key parameters such as vegetation cover, floral availability, and the presence of structural elements that support biodiversity.
