With the clear objective of avoiding additional land consumption, GSE Italia supported Vetropack in selecting and redeveloping a deindustrialized 347,000 sqm site, coordinating the complete remediation of land contaminated by sludge, asbestos, and concrete structures. The process involved the demolition of 20 existing buildings and the reuse of a significant portion of the resulting demolition materials.<br>Following the demolition works, the demolished materials were crushed and reused on-site as secondary raw materials, for a total of approximately 120,000 m\u00b3, while contaminated materials were properly remediated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project included the construction of an operational\u00a0<strong>hot end<\/strong>\u00a0equipped with two highly efficient melting furnaces, a\u00a0<strong>cold end<\/strong>\u00a0dedicated to quality control, and a two-storey warehouse for finished product storage. The buildings were designed with employee well-being at their core, carefully considering the ergonomics of production spaces through a dedicated colour scheme for flooring, walls, roofs, and fa\u00e7ades. Solutions were also implemented to reduce noise emissions below legal thresholds through optimized internal acoustics and to ensure a comfortable indoor microclimate for workers through specific ventilation and heat extraction systems that do not require additional electricity consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new facility integrates seamlessly into the local landscape thanks to a site layout that respects the area&#8217;s natural morphology. Much of the design effort focused on selecting technologies capable of reducing operational energy and water consumption, addressing the significant resource requirements inherent in the glass manufacturing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This led to the adoption of solutions that maximize resource efficiency and significantly reduce the company\u2019s environmental impact. These include a heat recovery system that captures energy generated by the melting furnaces and a closed-loop water circuit designed to minimize groundwater extraction while continuously filtering and treating the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, it was particularly important for the Municipality, in agreement with Vetropack and with the support of GSE Italia, to include community-focused initiatives within the project in terms of\u00a0environmental design and sustainable development\u00a0of the area. As part of the project, a 35,000 sqm public park was created along the Naviglio Grande canal, together with a 2.5 km cycle path connecting the new facility and public park to the existing cycling network. Finally, to avoid impacting local traffic, large internal parking areas were built for company vehicles, alongside a public parking facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project holds\u00a0<strong>strategic importance for Italy\u2019s manufacturing excellence<\/strong>\u00a0and, due to its complexity in terms of construction, permitting procedures, and investment value, it is undoubtedly one of the most significant industrial projects completed in Italy in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GSE Italia has developed for Vetropack, a Swiss company and one of Europe\u2019s leading manufacturers of glass packaging, a sustainable hollow glass production facility,\u00a0redeveloping a 347,000 sqm industrial site\u00a0in Boffalora Sopra Ticino, approximately half of which is dedicated to the production facilities themselves.
