LA CART SRL

What LA CART SRL does

LA CART SRL is an integrated waste management service provider headquartered in Rimini, Italy, founded in the 1960s by the Lombardini family as a paper recycling business and now operating as a subsidiary of Itelyum Group following its 2025 acquisition. The company specializes in the collection, transport, treatment, recovery, and disposal of urban, special, and hazardous waste (both pericolosi and non-pericolosi) for clients across artisanal, industrial, tertiary, public, and healthcare sectors. Operations span three production facilities in Rimini, Cesena, and Sogliano al Rubicone, supported by a 50-vehicle fleet, 400 compactors, and 3,000 containers, with 200,000 tonnes of waste processed annually and a 65% recovery rate.

The company's service portfolio includes specialized waste streams such as RAEE/WEEE management, end-of-life photovoltaic panel recovery, gypsum (cartongesso) recovery, asbestos disposal, and secure document destruction, alongside complementary offerings including equipment rental, RENTRI digital traceability compliance management, environmental consulting (MUD declarations, ADR consulting), and emergency response services. Underlying technology comprises electronic weighing systems on collection vehicles, a sophisticated odour abatement system at the Cesena flagship facility, and the Ecos Portal customer-facing digital platform for registry management. Distribution is direct-sales-led through a commercial office network covering Emilia-Romagna, Umbria, Marche, Toscana, Veneto, Lombardia, and San Marino.

Revenue mechanics are driven by per-service contracts with customized pricing (not publicly disclosed), recurring waste management retainers, equipment rental fees, and specialized recovery service fees. The company holds regulatory permits (Albo Nazionale Gestori Ambientali since 1996), Integrated Environmental Authorizations (AIA) valid through 2029-2035, and ISO 14001, ISO 9001, and OHSAS 18001 certifications. As of 2025, ownership has transitioned to Itelyum Group, and the company has completed the 100% acquisition of Ferri & Oliva Srl, expanding its Marche-region footprint. Customer base exceeds 3,500 producers across Italy.
