What Revet does

Revet S.p.A. is a privately held Italian integrated waste cycle management company headquartered in Pontedera, Italy, founded in 1986 and operating under the Direction and Coordination of Plures S.p.A. (57.84% shareholder). The company collects, selects, and prepares for recycling the five principal post-consumer packaging material streams — plastic, glass, aluminum, steel and tetrapak — across an integrated infrastructure of approximately 22,000 collection containers serving nearly 200 municipal administrations and over 80% of the Tuscan population (~4 million people). Combined treatment capacity across the Pontedera complex and partner plants is 360,000 tonnes per year, with the main Pontedera selection plant (CSS — Centro Selezione Smaltimento) alone processing roughly 170,000 tonnes annually. Revet also co-owns Vetro Revet S.r.l. (49% Revet, 51% Zignago S.p.A.), a glass-recycling joint venture in Empoli with 150,000 tonnes per year capacity and a 95% final yield rate delivering cullet to the adjacent Zignago glassworks.

The company's industrial backbone is its polyolefin granulation plant at Pontedera — one of only four Italian facilities capable of directly recycling polyolefins from plasmix (mixed plastic packaging waste). The two-line granulation workflow includes deferrizzation, washing tanks, floatation basins, drying, extrusion, laser filters, and twin-screw compounders, supported by an internal R&D laboratory with a pilot extruder that enables custom blend formulations for specific manufacturing applications. Output consists of three certified recycled granule product lines (REPLAY 33K, REFLOW and REFILL N), each PSV (Plastica Seconda Vita)-certified and NIR-detectable per Kiwa accreditation (from June 2026). The same facility is supported by an in-house R&D laboratory and pilot plant with continuous engagement with specialised research partners, including the University of Genoa under the PLASTRON European project (Jan 2024–Mar 2027).

Revet operates three primary revenue streams: (1) managed-services municipal contracts with ~200 Tuscan administrations; (2) auction-based sale of sorted homogeneous bales via national consortia (Corepla, Comieco, Cial, Ricrea, Coreve) covering roughly 45% of sorted plastics; and (3) direct B2B sales of recycled granules (the remaining ~55% of mixed plastics / plasmix) to plastic manufacturers for injection molding, rotational printing and 3D printing. GTM is hybrid — enterprise field sales to municipalities and industrial buyers, combined with event-driven visibility at Plast Milano and Ecomondo Rimini and earned media (Rai3 PresaDiretta, Report). Ownership is a hybrid public-private mix: Plures S.p.A. 57.84%, Montello S.p.A. (leading Italian plastics recycler) 36.79%, Idealservice Soc. Coop. 4.44%, plus RetiAmbiente; the board is chaired by Nicola Ciolini with CEO Alessia Scappini.

Revenue model

1. Municipal Service Fees: Revet operates under municipal service contracts serving approximately 200 municipal administrations and over 80% of the Tuscan population. Revenue is generated through fees for waste collection, selection, and preparation for recycling services.
2. Material Sales (Auctions and Direct): Homogeneous bales of sorted materials (plastics, metals, tetrapak) are sold to recyclers through electronic auctions managed by national consortia (Corepla, Comieco, Cial, Ricrea). Approximately 45% of sorted plastics are sold via auctions to individual recyclers. The remaining 55% (mixed plastics/plasmix) is processed internally into granules and sold to manufacturers.
3. Recycled Granule Sales: Direct sales of recycled granules produced from polyolefin fractions extracted from post-consumer mixed plastic packaging. Granules are sold to manufacturers for injection molding, rotational printing, 3D printing, and other applications. Sales supported by LCA certifications demonstrating 50-75% CO2 reduction vs virgin material.
4. Industrial Producer Services: Revet provides material trading and processing services for industrial producers, collecting, transporting, storing, selecting, and preparing materials from industrial production waste for recycling.
