Circular Economy and European Positioning: Italy’s Role

According to the 2025 Circular Economy Network report, Italy continues to rank among the most advanced countries in Europe for industrial circularity. This top-tier positioning is the result of outstanding performance in resource efficiency, material recycling, and energy productivity.

In the context of the European Green Deal and the ecological transition, this status is strategic for attracting investment and encouraging long-term industrial policy development.

An Efficient Production System, Still Dependent on Raw Materials

The Italian model is widely recognized for its strong manufacturing and artisanal base, capable of valorizing waste and minimizing environmental impact. However, the system remains significantly exposed to external vulnerabilities:

High dependence on imported raw materials
Insufficient infrastructure for real estate regeneration
Slow implementation of European directives

Implications for the Real Estate and Capital Goods Sectors

In the real estate and industrial sectors, the circular economy translates into urban regeneration, building reuse, energy efficiency, and process dematerialization.

Within this context, property auctions offer tangible solutions to:

Redevelop disused or underutilized assets
Support sustainable investment in the industrial property sector

New UNI/PdR Standards and the Right to Repair

The recent publication of UNI/PdR 132:2025 and EU initiatives on the right to repair represent a turning point for businesses. More precise and measurable obligations for recycling and reuse are becoming standard criteria for asset evaluation.

How to Strengthen Italy’s Competitive Advantage?

To consolidate its leadership role in Europe, Italy must:

Strengthen sustainable industrial infrastructure
Promote eco-compatible design
Digitalize the real estate and production supply chains

Looking Ahead: A Strategic Opportunity for the Country System

Today, the circular economy is one of the most powerful levers to redefine Italy’s industrial landscape through a sustainability lens. Reinforcing green infrastructure, fostering a widespread ecodesign culture, and accelerating supply chain digitalization are no longer optional goals—they are essential actions to maintain Italy’s economic competitiveness in Europe.

In both real estate and manufacturing, asset reuse and urban regeneration are already effective tools for responding to sustainability demands—but they require strategic vision and targeted investments. In this landscape, platforms like Gobidreal.it are emerging as key players.

The path is clear: what’s needed now is coordination between institutions, businesses, and industry professionals to make Italy not only a leader in recycling but a true European laboratory for the circular transition.
