Waste Management

With Neta: connected data, simplified processes, and engaged citizens.

The environmental hygiene sector is called upon to ensure efficient and transparent waste management. Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) represents a key step: it allows tariffs to be calculated based on the actual amount of waste delivered for each fraction (paper, green waste, residual, and multi-material), promoting fairness and accountability.
Neta enables integrated management of Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) tariffs through advanced tracking, operational automation, and data analysis features. The digitalization of workflows allows multi-utilities and Public administrations to optimize resources, simplify processes, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Efficient management of urban waste is a cornerstone for the practical implementation of circular economy policies. Reducing landfill disposal, increasing material and energy recovery, and improving traceability are just some of the strategic goals for the Environmental Hygiene and Waste Management sector.

However, significant territorial disparities persist in Italy. Central and Southern regions suffer from a lack of infrastructure, resulting in high waste transport costs and greater reliance on landfills.

According to the 2024 Sustainability Report by Fondazione Utilitas and Utilitalia, in 2023:

  • 6.7 million citizens were served with pay-as-you-throw pricing, rising from 36% to 50%;

  • 11.9 million tons of waste were collected through approximately 1,000 collection centers;

  • Separate waste collection reached 76% (+2% compared to 2022);

  • 30 million m³ of biomethane were produced via the Waste-to-Energy model.
