Who we are - HBI Group

Company

Our Story

HBI is an Italian high-innovation company and the creator of the Urban Circular Biorefinery model — the new frontier of wastewater treatment — where sewage sludge is transformed into valuable resources, renewable energy, and water. In this model, the treatment plant becomes a true pillar of the European circular economy.

Since 2016, we have been developing solutions that integrate engineering and research, transforming wastewater treatment plants into strategic water and energy reserves serving local communities and the circular economy — systems capable of recovering water, renewable energy, and critical raw materials such as phosphorus.

Thanks to a multidisciplinary team with specialized expertise in plant engineering, thermochemical processes, and international projects, we design modular and scalable solutions, ready for integration into industrial and civil processes, supporting the ecological transition in full compliance with the latest European directives.
