(ANSA) - Rome, August 19 - Transforming trash into eco-asphalt, bidding farewell for ever to waste dumps may now become a reality thanks to an Italian patent.
The procedure, for which the AMA waste disposal agency in Rome will receive its exclusive patent in October, enables the transformation of FOS, the part of waste broken down in a landfill, into Mineralized Biomass (MB) and its use for making roads or cycling paths.
The Rome municipal agency aims to produce this in 2016.
