Giancarlo Vedeo - Waste Management is Lavajet's Business

Giancarlo Vedeo Lavajet

Giancarlo Vedeo is a respected leader at Lavajet, the Italian waste management company he helped establish back in 1990. He’s seen the company grow beyond the Italian borders, and has been instrumental in establishing offices in the Middle East and United States. Since Vedeo became President of the company, he’s driven an innovative agenda that has seen the company establish itself as one of the leading waste management companies in every region it has an office.

Vedeo’s drive in helping found the business was based on a need to ensure that waste in the communities was properly disposed of. Poor disposal of food waste, for example, can lead to vermin and pest infestation and with it the spread of diseases. When broken bottles and tin cans are left unattended, they pose a danger to people who might accidentally cut themselves. Garden waste and house rubbish are perfect breeding grounds for all manner of insects, not to mention diseases such as skin infections and worms. Poor management of sewage waste can be especially dangerous, since it can seep into water sources and lead to outbreaks of diseases like cholera and diarrhea, which spread very quickly.

The need for proper waste management goes beyond the potential for health risks. Often, poor waste management can lead to social problems for a community. New visitors to a city will very likely lament the litter left on the streets the first time they visit the place. Some waste might not be seen as particularly hazardous to the environment, but can deter the economic activities in a community if it smells bad or is an obstacle to smooth passage. For businesses, this is financially costly and an impediment to future growth.

Proper waste management

For thousands of years, human beings have been practicing waste management techniques that have suited them. Early civilizations usually dug holes and buried their waste. It was an effective technique since populations were small and most waste was organic, thus beneficial to the environment in the end.

In the modern world, burying waste is not an option. The amount of waste produced surpasses that of earlier times, and modern waste is not all biodegradable. Additionally, the newer types of waste are dangerous to the environment, especially in the mold of nuclear waste. To enable efficient disposal, waste management companies like Lavajet have specialized in providing disposal services for various communities around northern Italy and the Middle East. Such a company has the experience and staff to ensure communities remain clean and environmentally safe from waste produced.
