Ecological deficit: saving resources by recycling

Ecological deficit: saving resources by recycling

The Global footprint network measures each year the resource demands of populations and the responsiveness of the ecosystems they inhabit. Also this year, Italy has consumed more resources than it has available, bringing forward to 19 May 2024 the day when it began to consume those scheduled for 2025. Italy, in essence, like other countries, is in a dangerous ecological deficit.

We consume more than the environment can provide and in fact this consumption is a robbery of resources for future generations. If the outgoings exceed the incomes, we need to take action. The WWF, on the occasion of the day, declared the need to get back within natural limits by appealing to most advanced technologies and clean and moving in the direction of an economy and an fairer development.

Fighting waste, waste becomes a resource

A fairer economy and development start with a decisive change of mindset, raw materials are precious resources that should not be wasted but reintroduced into production cycles. With this in mind, there is no more waste, there are only resources going in and out, circularly, of the production circuitsone.
