Mayor of Arzignano sings Acque del Chiampo’s praises

27/11/2018
Arzignano’s mayor, Dr Giorgio Gentilin, has paid tribute to Acque del Chiampo, the operator of the common effluent treatment plant for the tanneries in and around the town.

Speaking at the tenth AICC regional convention for Veneto in November, Dr Gentilin said Acque del Chiampo, which celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 2018, has been able to carry out “excellent research” in recent years.

He said that, thanks to this work, the leather industry in Veneto has been able to “begin to correct” its impact on the environment. “This is an industry that, in the past, made a considerable environmental impact here,” the mayor said. “But we have monitored that; we have been self-critical and now things are changing.”
