Over the years, Colucci has become a key figure in the Green Economy, not only in an entrepreneurial and managerial point of view, but also programmatic.

WastEnd, “the workshop of the future”, takes part in a wider project and includes the construction of a recycling park in the Province of Turin where waste will be re-introduced into the production chain as secondary raw materials and reused in other contexts.
