A2A, growth continues in the Circular Economy

Acquired 100% of TecnoA, a leading company in the treatment of industrial waste

Milan, December 10, 2021 - A2A - through its subsidiary A2A Ambiente - has acquired 100% of TecnoA, a leading company in central and southern Italy in the treatment of industrial waste.

The growth path of the Group continues and, in addition to its leadership in the municipal waste sector, with this operation it consolidates its position as a player of excellence also in activities serving the Italian production and industrial system, which is forced to export around 1.2 million tonnes of waste every year.

The transaction enables strong synergies with the Group's existing assets and structures and allows it to cover the entire value chain also in the special waste sector.

This new acquisition is in line with the objectives of the business plan, which provide for strong investments with a particular focus on infrastructures capable of filling the national plant gap in closing the waste management cycle, using the best available technologies.
With TecnoA, the A2A group will have a capacity for treating industrial waste of over 800,000 tonnes per year.

The plant, located in Crotone, represents excellence at a national level and is authorized to treat approximately 300,000 tons per year of industrial waste. Among the assets acquired are an inertisation plant, a chemical-physical treatment plant for liquid waste, a thermo-destructor for hospital waste and a waste-to-energy plant dedicated to the energy recovery of industrial waste.

The Group's entry into environmental activities at the service of the production fabric in the centre-south of the country also represents a concrete step forward in promoting the sustainable transition that is also developed through the proper management and valorisation of the waste generated by industries.

The investments planned by A2A will enable the Calabria plant hub to achieve an expected EBITDA of around €40 million per annum.
