Capannori municipality announced on July 15, 2025 that a regional procedure had authorized construction of RetiAmbiente’s absorbent-hygiene recycling plant at Salanetti in Tuscany.
Municipal project discussions identify baby diapers, adult absorbent products and menstrual products as distinct parts of the target waste stream. The authorization announcement also records opposition from the neighbouring municipality of Porcari.
The report concerns authorization, not commissioning or achieved recycling volumes. Statements about safety and environmental benefits are the municipality’s position; this announcement alone is not an independent assessment. The differing local positions should remain visible rather than presenting the project as unanimously supported.
