New investments for environmental sustainability

MTA is focusing on environmental sustainability, with an emissions abatement plan that’s already reached the implementation phase, and will reduce the site climate impacts by 33% within the next 16 months, which approximately corresponds to a 10,224 ton reduction in CO₂ equivalent atmospheric emissions over the next 10 years. The investment is partially funded by a grant from the Lombardy Region (the Green Line grant).

Many of the facilities at the industrial site will be heavily renovated: heat will be recovered from the molding process to facilitate summer cooling and winter heating, refrigerants with a high environmental impact will be eliminated, and, where possible, will be replaced with fluids having a near-zero climatic impact, the existing photovoltaic system will be greatly expanded, and the use of methane gas will be reduced by about 90%.

These interventions will significantly improve the Carbon Footprint associated with MTA products, all for the benefit of the entire downstream automotive supply chain. MTA was assisted in obtaining the regional grant and state incentives by Sacee, which has been supporting the company on its energy transition pathway for a decade, and will plan and direct all the relevant work activities.
