CIPNES - Gallura has recently acquired (April 2018) from Sarda Compost S.r.l. the lignocellulosic waste treatment plant located in Loc. Spiritu Santu - Olbia (SS).

The plant has the function of transforming "ligneocellulosic" organic waste into compost (green or simple non-composting soil improver) or biomass.

The predominant activity is the production of compost, sold in bulk or bagged, which is a key product for soil amendment on agricultural land and domestic gardens. In addition, CIPNES takes care of the cleaning and mowing of road bumps, tree cutting and garden maintenance on request. These operations also include the transport phases.

The achievement of the future goals set by CIPNES is related to the continuous development of the plant, with the aim of flanking the production and sale of compost with the production and sale of soil for the floricultural and agronomic sector of the territory.

The management of CIPNES pays particular attention to the protection of the environment, the minimization of the impacts produced and the awareness of the various stakeholders.
