Ecoprogetto Venezia

What Ecoprogetto Venezia does

Ecoprogetto Venezia Srl is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gruppo Veritas, the publicly-owned Italian multi-utility that delivers integrated environmental and water services across 51 shareholder municipalities in the Venice metropolitan area (44) and Treviso province (7). The subsidiary was the vehicle for the June 2022 merger that absorbed Eco-Ricicli Veritas Srl, consolidating the group's recycling and waste-processing capabilities into a single entity. Ecoprogetto Venezia focuses on the integrated waste cycle, offering differentiated collection, bulky waste removal, recycling center operations, and end-of-waste certification processes supported by a proprietary waste traceability system. Operations are embedded in a 2,300 km² service territory serving 940,000 residents and 40+ million annual tourist visits.

The subsidiary benefits from group-level infrastructure including digital citizen-facing platforms (the SOL online portal, Veritas Alert SMS system, dedicated contact center lines), a uniquely accredited water testing laboratory (the only Italian operator accredited for Norovirus detection, renewed in 2026), and shared regulatory and sustainability credentials (ISO 37001:2016 anti-corruption, UNI PDR 125:2022 gender equality, AGCM Rating di legalità 3/3, and the 2024 Bollino CNEL). Its parent participates in the EU Horizon 2020 B-Watersmart research project, signaling selective engagement with EU-funded innovation.

Ecoprogetto Venezia generates revenue through regulated, contractually-anchored service streams rather than open-market sales. The business model is a captive B2G and B2C municipal utility — waste management services are delivered to 45 municipalities under multi-year concession arrangements, with pricing structures (usage-based for water, subscription/managed for waste and public services) set within ARERA's regulatory framework. The 2026 crisis in the plastic supply chain has prompted the controlled subsidiary eco+eco to seek regulatory intervention from ARPAV, highlighting both the operational dependency on commodity markets and the structural advantage of operating within a diversified public utility group.
