AMIAT SpA Torino

What AMIAT SpA Torino does

AMIAT SpA Torino (Azienda Multiservizi Igiene Ambientale Torino S.p.A.) is a mixed-capital municipal environmental services company that delivers integrated waste collection, treatment, and urban hygiene services exclusively to the City of Turin, Italy. Founded in 1969 as AMRR and renamed AMIAT in 1990, the company has operated continuously for over 50 years under a regulated public service framework. Its service portfolio spans door-to-door differentiated collection (paper, plastic, glass, organics, non-recyclables), proximity collection through the ecoisole underground/semi-underground network, free bulky waste home pickup, and street cleaning and winter road maintenance. Physical infrastructure includes eight fixed collection centres distributed across Turin, approximately 400 textile collection containers, and treatment facilities in Borgaro Torinese (composting plant inaugurated 1998; Circular Plastic plastic-selection facility inaugurated 2024; RISMA waste treatment facility). Digital touchpoints comprise the Iren Ambiente mobile application (iOS/Android) and a citizen services web portal; multilingual sorting guides ('Il Rifiutologo') are published in six languages.

AMIAT's business model rests on three revenue streams: the regulated municipal waste tariff (TARIG) under ARERA oversight, billed to domestic and non-domestic users; commercial and special waste services for the 29 categories of non-domestic users (shops, restaurants, hospitals, schools, industries) charged on volume, frequency, and waste type; and revenue from the sale of sorted recyclable materials to national consortia (COMIECO, COREPLA, COREVE, CiAl, RICREA, CIC). The company is 80% owned by Iren Group via Amiat V. S.p.A. and 20% by FCT Holding S.p.A. (the City of Turin's holding vehicle), with fully paid-in share capital of €46,326,462. The City of Turin is both regulator and minority shareholder, embedding the concession relationship into AMIAT's corporate governance. Environmental education is delivered through Eduiren (Iren Group's educational arm), and AMIAT is a founding partner of MAcA, Europe's first environmental museum.

Revenue model

1. Municipal Waste Management Tariff (TARIG): AMIAT operates as a regulated utility under ARERA oversight. Revenue is generated primarily through the municipal waste management tariff charged to users (both domestic and non-domestic) within the City of Turin. The tariff funds integrated waste collection, street cleaning, bulky waste services, and operation of collection centres.
2. Commercial and Special Waste Services: AMIAT provides waste management services to non-domestic commercial and industrial users in Turin, including waste disposal, collection scheduling, and dedicated containers. These services are billed based on volume, frequency, and waste type, and generate commercial revenue above the regulated municipal tariff base.
3. Recycling and Secondary Materials Revenue: Revenue from the sale of sorted recyclable materials (paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, glass, compost) extracted through the differentiated collection system. Volumes and quality of separation directly affect the value recovered from consortia (COMIECO, COREPLA, COREVE, CiAl, RICREA, CIC).
