Together with two large entities such as Coop Alleanza 3.0 and IGD, with the patronage of the Municipality of Castenaso (BO) and with the support of Impronta Etica, an association of companies that aims to foster sustainability-oriented processes in Italy and Europe, Camst group has launched the Waste2Value project.

Inside the CentroNova shopping center in Villanova di Castenaso (BO), Camst group and Coop cafeterias recover coffee grounds and orange peels left over at the end of the day. These scraps are fed into a compost bin outside the complex, which turns them into a soil conditioner that is useful for maintaining the areas outside the mall and for setting up a flower garden in the area adjacent to the compost bin. Value is thus placed on the waste produced, which finds a second life within the same space.

This project demonstrates the importance of synergy among stakeholders in the food supply chain to pursue sustainability projects that help limit waste and create a circular economy system.
