Hera (IT0001250932) inaugurated a EUR 48.80 million rigid-plastics recycling plant in Modena on October 20, 2026, adding a new industrial asset to its circular-economy strategy. The Hera Group said the facility can process 30,000 tonnes of polymers annually and received EUR 7.70 million from Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Why the investment matters

The R3GID project is designed to produce recycled polymers with a certified purity level above 99 percent. At full capacity, the plant is expected to employ 80 people, while Hera's Aliplast business is set to exceed 210,000 tonnes of annual capacity for high-quality secondary plastic raw materials.

The project sits within Hera's 2025-2029 Business Plan, which allocates EUR 2.00 billion to the circular economy and EUR 5.50 billion to total investment. That makes the Modena facility a targeted operating investment rather than a standalone environmental announcement.

Three dated operating steps

On July 29, 2026, Hera's first-half results showed net profit up 16 percent and investments up 56 percent, according to the Hera Group. On October 13, 2026, Hera announced a EUR 73.50 million concession to supply renewable electricity to the Leonardo supercomputer. On October 20, 2026, the company inaugurated R3GID with 30,000 tonnes of annual processing capacity.

What comes next for Hera?

Hera's investor-relations calendar sets November 11, 2026, for disclosure of financial results through September 30, 2026, with an online presentation. The date gives investors the next scheduled test of whether the 16 percent first-half net-profit increase can extend into the second half.

Hera is listed in the FTSE MIB, and a MarketScreener consensus page identifies the company with ISIN IT0001250932 and five analysts. The published average target is EUR 4.54, compared with the latest EUR 3.53 reference price, but the target is a consensus figure rather than a company forecast.
