Descrizione dell'organizzazione

Funded in 1979, Insieme is a local, national and European reference for the innovative and pioneering approach to waste reduction. The main goal of Insieme is the maximization of reuse and recycling of the donations and the collected waste, in cooperation with municipalities, waste management companies, citizenship and private companies. Our priority is to develop a multi-stakeholder waste prevention and reduction strategy aimed to have positive social and environmental impacts. Insieme manages 10 waste collection centres, 2 Preparation for Reuse centres, 4 second-hand shops and 1 social bar.
The other important mission of Insieme is promoting social inclusion: creating job places available for disadvantaged people (migrants, psychic disable people, people coming from addiction or detention stories, etc.) through work integration programmes in cooperation with local Social Services. People involved are 200: 70 employees, 80 disadvantaged people, 50 among Public Utility Works, local and European volunteers, etc.
Thus, giving a second chance to people and items is what Insieme pursues in its everyday work.
