In order to ensure a balanced urban development and to minimize as much as possible the environmental impact caused by its activities (e.g. waste transport), AMA will envisage spatial integration of production and use in the existing plant, lay-out reallocation and the re-design of the waste collection services in accordance with logistic and technical problems related to biomethane/CNG captive fleet use.

To this end, the Organic Treatment Centre in Maccarese will operate as follows: the increased composting plant will use agricultural waste and selected organic waste (from hotels, restaurants, markets, cafeterias, etc.) to produce high quality compost; the new biogas plant will use organic waste from the household door-to-door selective collection, and the biomethane produced will mainly fuel vehicles circulating in neighborhoods close to the plant.
