Hera Group (Gruppo Hera) is an Italian multi-utility headquartered in Bologna, operating across Northern and Central Italy. Formed in 2002 from the merger of several municipal utilities, the group provides integrated services in three main areas: water (aqueduct, wastewater, and purification), energy (natural gas and electricity distribution and sales, district heating), and environment (municipal and industrial waste collection, treatment, and recovery). Hera S.p.A. is listed on Borsa Italiana (Euronext Milan).
For industrial clients, Hera—primarily through its environmental subsidiary Herambiente and companies such as Aliplast—offers waste management, recycling, and material recovery solutions, including plastics reprocessing, waste-to-energy, and production of secondary raw materials and fuels. The group supports circular economy initiatives by enabling recovery of resources from both hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams and by supplying recovered materials and energy back into industrial value chains.
