Sfridoo helps small, medium and large enterprises in the transition to the Circular Economy by eliminating the concept of industrial waste

COMPANY

The Circular Economy Company

Sfridoo is the Italian company that, through the principles of the Circular Economy, helps small-medium enterprises and large industrial groups to innovate their waste management processes through the adoption of different solutions.

Sfridoo offers operational services for the optimisation and valorisation of residues, waste and production leftovers.

In addition, it uses innovative cloud tools for material and waste management, enabling companies to achieve important results in terms of cost savings and environmental sustainability.

MISSION

Generating Industrial Symbiosis among enterprises

Sfridoo’s mission is to generate Industrial Symbiosis on a batch model, that is a network of companies on national and international territory that collaborate in order to share materials that are still useful for business.

A virtuous and circular exchange of scraps, waste, by-products, leftover stock and business assets.

VISION

Eliminating the concept of waste

Sfridoo’s vision is to eliminate the concept of ‘waste’, aiming for the more sustainable concept of ‘resource’.

Sfridoo is promoting this cultural change to contribute to the European 2050 targets and the UN 2030 Agenda.

Sfridoo is committed to supporting the growth of the adoption of Industrial Symbiosis among companies, investing in the research of eco-innovative solutions.
