“…Considering the importance of the Next Generation EU, also known as Recovery Fund or Recovery Plan, Passaro et al (2024) analyze the relationship between the domains of the SDGs and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) in Italy, focusing on the Mission 2 on "Green revolution and ecological transition" and on the statistical indicators related to the M2C1 component on "Circular economy and sustainable agriculture". Through the use of multivariate statistical methodologies, the authors define the NRRP as an essential opportunity for boosting circular economy solutions and sustainable waste management, as well as to strengthening the infrastructures for separate collection and waste treatment in Italy.…”

“…Mission 2, so-called “Green revolution and ecological transition), the plan includes interventions to enhance the separate collection networks, the material treatment and the recycling plants by developing infrastructures and facilities of organic waste. However, the current global market faces several challenges and barriers under financial, managerial and labor perspective (Passaro et al ., 2024).…”

“…It results that the main shortcoming is related to the transportation of organic waste to the anaerobic digestion plant, since transportation must take place with a certain frequency, with organic waste being subject to rapid degradation. However, keeping transportation out of boundaries, it should be highlighted that the anaerobic digestion treatment presents the best environmental performance among different valorization pathways of organic waste [59]. Indeed, the anaerobic digestion and composting plant includes an upgrading system for the production of biomethane and the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system to separate CH 4 from CO 2 , which opens paths for carbon neutrality due to the production of biomethane without carbon dioxide emissions.…”

The sharp increase in rural tourism brings, on the one side, economic and social benefits among rural communities but, on the other, contributes to environmental challenges, specifically waste generation and natural resource consumption. From the ecological perspective, several pathways have been developed from local and global communities, such as prevention, reuse, recycling and energy recovery. The present research, by considering the need to boost separate collection and valorize organic waste among rural communities, evaluates the performance of a combined anaerobic digestion and composting plant in Southern Italy. The purpose is to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of collecting organic waste in rural areas and recovering it into biomethane, digestate and compost. First, the research develops the material flow analysis of a real, accessible and available anaerobic digestion and composting plant in Southern Italy. Secondly, on the basis of the results obtained, the research calculates the biomethane, digestate and compost potential in Southern Italy, considering the amount of organic waste produced in 14 rural communities identified as the most beautiful villages in Italy. Last, the research compares the advantages and disadvantages of producing biomethane through anaerobic digestion or resorting to community composting in rural areas. It results that the biomethane and compost potential through anaerobic digestion is 423,854 kg and 954,896 kg, respectively, but significant financial investments must be allocated in order to allow the municipalities to enhance the logistics and the separate collection facilities. The research highlights possible strategies under the circular economy lens to boost sustainability in rural areas, focusing on biomethane and compost production and providing policy implications in light of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

“…Considering the theoretical benefits coming from spent hens' valorization, both in the field of material and energy recovery, advanced and specific research is required, with particular attention to waste-to-bioproducts and waste-to-energy technologies. Also, these studies are required to achieve the key objectives of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), which asks for a green, ecological and inclusive transition by promoting the circular economy, the development of renewable energy sources and a more sustainable agriculture [69], and organic waste valorization, and the proposals of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) [70].…”

The Circular Economy Potential of Spent Hens’ Co-Products and By-Products in Italy by Material Flow Analysis

Eggs represent one of the most consumed animal products worldwide. In Europe, over 366 million laying hens and 6.1 Mt of derived eggs have been estimated in 2020, and Italy represents the fourth largest producer (41 million hens and 0.79 Mt of eggs). Egg production has been identified as relatively environmental-friendly, but several environmental concerns have been recently raised considering the inefficient spent hens’ management. Spent hens are generally euthanized and composted or incinerated, producing greenhouse gases while at the same time significant nutrients are lost. First, the research reviews the egg supply chain characteristics and the alternative spent hens’ valorization pathways. Then, using the material flow analysis, the research quantifies and qualifies the consistencies of laying hens and protein content included in spent hens across Italy, providing a comprehensive assessment of the national scenario under an environmental and circular perspective. Furthermore, the research develops an inventory of the spent hens’ co-products and by-products in Italy, focusing on the flows of proteins for further environmental studies. The research has highlighted that over 13,948 t of proteins could be extracted, distinguishing between those embedded within offal, feathers and blood. In addition, spent hens can be used for human consumption, as well as for material or energy recovery through anaerobic digestion or microbial fermentation. Results are addressed to farmers, who are required to boost their environmental performances, and public authorities, who must implement sustainable strategies to collect spent hens.
