Our now long-standing participation in Ecomondo provided the opportunity this year to celebrate an important anniversary through the NEXT40 initiative, a reflection on the 40 years of research and innovation that have accompanied us since Mattiussi Ecologia started in 1983 and that, without any nostalgia, aim to provide a tool to consider the future of sorted waste collection.

Through NEXT40 we address the urgency a sustainable future imposes on our consciences: asserting the concepts of a circular economy is a challenge that no one can shy away from.

Let’s look back together at forty years of success at Mattiussi Ecologia to understand how iconic products such as the Composter, Minimax, Easy Trolley, Zerømax and Biox have shaped the standards of sorted waste collection, while offering insights into an innovative vision applied to new integrated systems.
