Municipal solid waste incineration in Milano (Italy)

Since 1907 Amsa company operated in the city of Milano in the solid waste collection and disposal business. Established as a private company, in 1958 became totally public, owned by the Municipality of Milano. Other city public services, like gas and potable water distribution, sewage operation, electric power distribution and public transportation were given to several separated companies.

Focus on a single activity, gave Amsa the possibility to optimize its work and to take its services to a top technological and quality level. During the years, Amsa registered several patents for innovative street cleaning devices and waste collection machinery design, which allowed improvement of service easiness and efficacy. But Amsa was also requested to work very hard on waste recycling and incineration and the following is the story of what Amsa has done and developed in this field in the last 40 years.
