What Sea Risorse does

Sea Risorse S.p.A. is an Italian in-house providing waste-management company headquartered in Viareggio (Lucca), serving the municipalities of Viareggio and Camaiore in Tuscany. The company runs an integrated municipal waste service built around door-to-door differentiated collection (paper, metal, plastic, organic, and unsorted streams), three collection centers, multiple staffed "eco-islands" with extended weekend hours in summer, free home bulky-waste pickup (up to 200 kg or 1 cubic meter), and home collection of used cooking oil. It also offers a domestic composting program (with a 10% bill discount), public green-area maintenance, and collection services for industrial and artisanal waste, plus environmental-education programs reaching thousands of school children.

Operationally, Sea Risorse owns and operates the La Morina green-waste composting plant (producing CIC-certified compost sold through local supermarkets) and is building out an anaerobic codigestion facility adjacent to the local wastewater treatment plant under the Bio2Energy project, in partnership with CNR di Pisa, the University of Florence, and Publiambiente, to convert sewage sludge and organic fraction of municipal solid waste (FORSU) into biogas and renewable fertilizers. Chip-enabled "smart" containers track door-to-door collections, and a meteorological station supports operating decisions at La Morina.

The business model is contract-driven: revenue comes primarily from municipal tariffs and public-service contracts with Comune di Viareggio (34.42% shareholder) and Comune di Camaiore (1.58%), augmented by processing fees and product sales (compost, recyclables). Ownership is mixed, with La Biofertil S.r.l. holding 40% and Plures S.p.A. 24%, alongside the municipal shareholders; share capital is €980,000 fully paid-in. Headcount sits at 94–98 employees (2016–2017 figures).
