(Adnkronos) - Ciafani: “Non c'è transizione ecologica senza economia circolare e non c'è economia circolare senza  acquisti verdi. L'Italia ha una leadership sul recupero di materia ma fa ancora molta fatica sugli acquisti verdi” ha detto Stefano Ciafani, presidente Legambiente, a margine del Forum Compraverde Buygreen che si è tenuto a Roma.

00:00It's an important meeting because we can't talk about the ecological transition if we don't

00:09also talk about the circular economy, and there is no circular economy if we don't

00:13put in place those green purchases that lead the public, but also the private sector,

00:19to put in place ways to use good products that derive from recycling rather than from

00:26raw materials. So it's a closure of the cycle of the circular economy, which is fundamental

00:31to rebuild it in this country, which has a leadership on the recycling of raw materials,

00:34and which instead still struggles a lot on green purchases.

00:37We have been collaborating for several years on this meeting, producing a report on the

00:42state of application of green purchases in the public sector, focusing on the various

00:49polluting stations, to tell how the green purchases revolution is proceeding, to highlight

00:56in which sectors delays are concentrated, to make sure that the handbrake is lowered

01:02and that we can accelerate definitively, and also in this edition we are producing a new

01:07update with some important focuses on some stations that can really change the outcome

01:12of green purchases in our country.

01:14As far as the circular economy is concerned, we are the leading country in Europe.

01:17We are better than the Germans. We talk about it and we don't take revenge.

01:22In terms of the recovery of raw materials, we are much better than all the countries in

01:26northern Europe. This is partly for historical reasons, because Italy is a country with

01:31a shortage of raw materials, partly because in the last 25 years we have built some

01:35collection and recycling lines that have given concrete results.

01:38We have to do the same thing also on those parts of the circular economy where

01:42it is even more difficult. The sector of green purchases is a sector in which we are

01:46still a bit behind, but this does not make up for the Italian leadership in this sector

01:51that we absolutely have to tell more and more.
