We are driven by a “can-do” attitude as we firmly believe in our mission.

We sustain continuous change, learning, and curiosity.

We believe that diversity is the fundamental asset of our team.

Tondo Ecosystem

The transition to the Circular Economy holds opportunities that require an innovative and systemic approach. Discover the Tondo ecosystem:

Tondo^APS

Tondo^APS is a non-profit organisation that, by involving people, research centres and public institutions, develops knowledge and new Circular Economy solutions.

Tondo^LAB

Tondo^LAB is an organization that supports companies in designing and implementing circular and innovative solutions.

Re-think

Re-think is an event format that shows possible Circular Economy solutions, fostering interaction and discussion between national and international players.

Tondo is a hub of organizations dedicated to the Circular Economy, working to create an ecosystem for universities, start-ups, companies, organizations and individuals to foster innovation, entrepreneurship and circularity.

In addition to creating a space where entrepreneurs, innovators, change makers and designers can develop new projects related to the Circular Economy, Tondo is expanding and disseminating knowledge on Circular Economy topics, supporting the launch of new companies that operate according to a circular approach and helping established companies in their transition to a Circular Economy.

Tondo’s main interest areas

Cities

Materials

Tondo wants to increase the knowledge and applications of innovative, circular and sustainable materials in different sectors, offering solutions to replace some of the materials currently used by encouraging the reuse and recycling of materials with specific projects and fostering innovation.

Tondo works to promote and disseminate the use of circular materials that can in turn be regenerated at the end of their life.

Technologies

Tondo aims to promote the implementation and use of digital technologies: those that can foster a better understanding of the current state of circularity (such as Tondo’s circularity measurement tools), and those that foster the implementation, exchange, and traceability of circular economy-related realities (such as the Taranto Circolare platform).

Tondo is a change maker that supports the development of the circular economy, overturning the concept of waste and optimizing resource management with a focus on AI, IoT, renewable energy production and digital platforms.
