Hera Group

For energy recovery

Operational activities involving the collection, recovery, transport, treatment, and disposal of municipal and special waste: this is what the agreement signed last December 12 between the Governorate of the Vatican City State and the Hera Group provides for, through its subsidiary Herambiente S.p.A., a company that specializes in waste treatment and recovery. Massimo Toschi, Deputy Director of the Services Sector of the Directorate of Infrastructure and Services of the Governorate, discusses the agreement in this interview with www.vaticanstate.va.

The Governorate of the Vatican City State and the Hera Group have launched a new phase of their collaboration by signing an agreement that entrusts Herambiente S.p.A. – a Hera Group company specializing in waste treatment and recovery – with the overall management of environmental services within Vatican territory and in the areas specified in Articles 15 and 16 of the Lateran Treaty.

As part of the celebrations for the Jubilee Year 2025, the Governorate of Vatican City State and Hera Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to launch targeted initiatives for the sustainable management of waste produced within the Vatican territory, with a particular focus on plastic (PET) bottles.

In keeping with its goal of reaching zero emissions, another step has been added to the “Ecological Conversion 2030” program of the Vatican City State by transforming waste into a resource and reducing the environmental impact through renewable energy sources.
