🎉 We are thrilled to announce that i-Foria Italia, a pioneering startup in the circular economy sector, has completed its first capital increase of €1.7 million. The transaction is led by Tech4Planet – the National Technology Transfer Hub for Environmental Sustainability promoted by CDP Venture Capital, and by MITO Technology Ventures – venture capital fund art. 9 SFDR launched by MITO Technology. The investment round concluded by Tech4Planet and Mito Ventures will be used for the validation of the technology and the construction of the first plants in Italy on an industrial scale. 💫 i-Foria Italia is the innovative startup that has developed and patented a revolutionary technology that will lead to the recycling of 100% of waste deriving from absorbent hygiene products (AHP), such as diapers and similar products, transforming them into Secondary Raw Materials (absorbent material and plastic) that can be reintegrated into new production cycles, thus contributing significantly to the creation of a true circular economy. Not only does the process meet the most stringent safety criteria, but it also offers a concrete solution to reduce the huge amount of used AHP waste that currently represents a serious environmental problem for all countries. 👏 Congratulations to Marcello Somma, Giuseppe Landolfo and their team for this exciting milestone!
