Arzignano held up as a “circular economy” example

19/03/2018
Leather manufacturing group Gruppo Dani, wastewater plant operator Acque del Chiampo, biotech firm ILSA and leather chemicals manufacturer Samia joined forces in mid-March to present the Arzignano tanning cluster as an example of how the circular economy can work.

More than 100 researchers from universities across Italy travelled to Arzignano for the event. All four organisations opened their doors and invited the researchers to view their operations and ask questions about their work.

At the start of the visit, Gruppo Dani chief executive, Giancarlo Dani, said: “It’s not just that investing in the green economy is a technical challenge or an economic opportunity, it’s a cultural goal for the entire community here.”
