The quality of the product is determined by the relationship between the environment, man and tradition. The emergency we are experiencing can really revolutionize the way we conceive the intrinsic value of the products we buy every day by focusing on two pillars: fair
Among the most important challenges in sustainable mobility, at present, is the issue of medium- to long-distance travel. On a continent such as Europe, which is relatively small compared to others and with different countries and cultures concentrated in a geographically
One of the most important elements in the circular economy model is waste recycling. The reuse of materials already in circulation reduces the extraction and processing of new raw materials, thereby eliminating the corresponding CO2 emissions. When we think of Italy, we are
Solar power is one of the clean, renewable sources on which research is focusing most strongly to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. On the other hand, the powering of our cities is bound to create more and more tensions in western societies: the depletion of
