The contribution of the project in terms of expected impacts (on the only companies to REFIBRE partners) are:

• Waste reduction:
  • 200 ton/year waste landfill
  • 1.000 ton/year  waste destined for incineration 
    
    
•   GHG emissions:
  • saving about 1,000 t/year of CO2 - equivalent to 100 air travels from Rome to Tokyo or 250 Euro5 cars
    traveling for 12000 km/year;
  • saving 13,000 kg/year SO2 - equivalent, equal to 1300 euro5 trucks for 60,000 km/year each.
  • saving 1600 kg/year of fine powders (PM2.5, 5, 10), comparable to 18 buses that run for 38000
    km/year each.Risparmio 1.000 ton/ anno di CO2 – equivalente a 1.000 viaggi aerei da Roma a Toky

• The use of recycled fibre as secondary raw material:
  • Production o f 6,000 tons/year of plastic PP compounds (20% by weight) sufficient to make about 400,000 bins with 240 litre volume for waste garbage collection
    Alternative
  • Produce 400,000 tons/year of reinforced asphalt (0.3% by weight) sufficient for the refurbishment of a 200 Km road
