Ecologica Naviglio

What Ecologica Naviglio does

Ecologica Naviglio S.p.A. is an Italian joint-stock company (S.p.A.) headquartered in Robecchetto con Induno (MI), within the Parco del Ticino, that provides sustainable management of industrial wastewater and waste. Its core offering is the chemical-physical and biological treatment of industrial effluents (reflui) and waste (rifiuti) classified under the European Waste Catalogue (codici CER), with or without intermediation, on a single industrial site equipped with telecontrol instrumentation and supporting tank and network cleaning services. The company is structured as an Italian S.p.A. with €1.5 million fully paid-in share capital and VAT number 05073410150, operating exclusively in Northern Italy (Lombardy) with a workforce in the 11-50 band.

The technology and compliance stack is the principal differentiator: treatment processes are backed by EU EMAS registration (Environmental Declaration 2025-2027), ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 certifications (formalized via the 2021 Mani In Pasta program), the Italian D.Lgs. 231/2001 Organizational Model with a three-member external Supervisory Body, and a Codice Etico adopted by Board resolution on 15 April 2021. A 24/7 web portal (Portale Servizi) provides registered clients with authenticated self-service booking of waste deliveries and ancillary logistics. The company participates in Italy's RENTRI (Registro Elettronico Nazionale sulla Tracciabilità dei Rifiuti) pilot with the Ministry of Ecological Transition, positioning it within the national digital waste traceability framework.

Commercially, Ecologica Naviglio operates a hybrid B2B model combining recurring service contracts (auto-renewing, with no mandatory cancellation clause) and usage-based per-conferment pricing via the Portale Servizi, plus project-based professional services for environmental remediation. GTM is enterprise field-sales-driven (technical visits, compliance check-ups, plant selection, transport mode) targeting manufacturers in textile/leather tanning, cosmetics, chemicals, pharmaceutical, plastics, and paper/printing; waste management operators; and environmental remediation firms. Named enterprise customers include Conceria Guerino, Candiani Denim, and Conceria Gaiera. Complementary advisory lines — Impresa Sostenibile and Simbiosi Industriale — extend the core treatment offering into circular-economy and sustainability consulting, aligned with 6 of the 17 UN SDGs.

Core offering

Ecologica Naviglio provides sustainable treatment and purification (depurazione) of industrial wastewater (reflui) and management of industrial waste (rifiuti) through proprietary chemical-physical and biological treatment plants at its Robecchetto con Induno facility. The integrated service covers storage, conferment, tank and network cleaning, telecontrol, and CER (European Waste Catalogue) code classification with or without intermediation, delivered under recurring service contracts and bookable 24/7 via a credentialed web Portale Servizi. The offering is targeted at industrial manufacturers (textile, leather, cosmetics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, paper/printing), waste management operators, and environmental remediation projects.

Product overview

Ecologica Naviglio S.p.A. delivers its offering as an integrated, vertically-coordinated service platform rather than a modular SaaS product. The core service — Gestione Sostenibile Reflui e Rifiuti Industriali — runs on physical chemical-physical and biological treatment infrastructure at the Robecchetto con Induno plant and is enabled digitally by the Portale Servizi client self-service portal, which handles 24/7 booking (Logistica), EWC code classification (Codici CER), and recurring contractual relationships (Contratto). Around this core, the company organizes three sector-specific service lines: Servizi per Industria Manifatturiera (textile, leather, cosmetics, chemicals, pharma, plastics, paper), Servizi per Aziende di Gestione dei Rifiuti, and Attività di Risanamento Ambientale (remediation). Complementary offerings include the Impresa Sostenibile sustainability advisory — anchored to 6 of the 17 UN SDGs — and Simbiosi Industriale consulting for circular-economy clients. Regulatory participation in RENTRI connects Ecologica Naviglio's waste tracking to Italy's national digital traceability system.

Broad incumbents

• Hera S.p.A. Multi-utility group providing environmental services (waste, water, energy) across Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and beyond. Comparable on the industrial waste and wastewater treatment side, but serves multiple regions and operates a portfolio of services that Ecologica Naviglio does not.
• Iren Ambiente: Iren Group's waste management division handling industrial and municipal waste treatment and disposal across Northern Italy. Comparable because of overlap on industrial waste streams and Northern Italian industrial customer base, but with multi-region, multi-plant infrastructure.
• A2A Ambiente: Subsidiary of Italian multi-utility A2A operating integrated waste management (collection, treatment, disposal, recovery) across Lombardy and beyond. Comparable because it serves the same industrial waste and wastewater customers in Lombardy, but at substantially larger scale and broader geographic scope.
• Veolia Italia: Italian arm of global environmental services group Veolia, active in industrial wastewater treatment, hazardous waste, and circular-economy services. Comparable on chemical-physical/biological treatment capabilities and on industrial customer segments, but with global scale and a broader service portfolio.
• Eni Rewind (Eni Group): Eni Group's environmental services and remediation subsidiary, focused on site decommissioning, soil/groundwater remediation, and industrial waste management in Italy. Comparable on the 'Attività di Risanamento Ambientale' service line, with parent-group scale and project finance.
• Suez Italia (now part of Veolia): Italian operations of Suez (subsequently integrated with Veolia), providing industrial wastewater, hazardous waste, and environmental services to manufacturers. Directly comparable on industrial wastewater and waste treatment offerings, with much larger scale and footprint.
• Stericycle Italy: Italian arm of the global regulated waste management company, focused on hazardous and industrial waste collection, treatment, and disposal. Comparable on industrial/hazardous waste streams and compliance-led service delivery, with global scale and multi-site infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Remeo: Italian industrial waste management specialist providing integrated hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment, including chemical-physical and biological processes, with a strong industrial customer base. Comparable as a specialized mid-market operator in industrial waste and wastewater, with a similar compliance-driven, recurring-contract model.
• Ecolstudio (Lamoneria Group): Italian environmental services provider focused on industrial wastewater treatment, waste management, and laboratory/environmental analysis for manufacturers. Comparable on chemical-physical/biological treatment expertise and on serving manufacturing clients with compliance-driven recurring needs.

Regional players

• Acsm-Agam Ambiente (now parte del Gruppo A2A / multi-utility): Northern Italian multi-utility with waste and environmental services, including industrial waste management, serving Como, Monza and surrounding provinces. Comparable as a regional industrial waste operator in the same Lombardy catchment, but with a broader municipal utility portfolio.
