CLEANER WASTE COLLECTION IN THE NETHERLANDS WITH PIRELLI

Pirelli Eco-Technology FiltersPirelli Eco Technology signed an agreement to supply innovative particulate filters to SITA (SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT), the leading company in The Netherlands and in other European countries in sustainable waste management. The aim of the initiative is to reduce the particulate emissions from the SITA garbage trucks by more than 95%.

New emissions limits are required by regulations from Dutch Environment Ministry VROM.

These state that only Euro 2 and 3 vehicles with a diesel particulate filter can access the environmental zones, e.g. in inner cities. The amount of soot produced by the SITA trucks with a Pirelli filter will be as low as in Euro 4/5, depending on the age and engine of the vehicle.

 This agreement strengthens Pirelli’s leadership in the emission control technology and further develops Pirelli Eco Technology international expansion.
