Summary/Abstract: In 2015 the European Union proposed the Circular Economy Package with the goal both to minimize management cost of production process and to reduce environmental impact on the territory. The European Commission CE establishes a programme of action covering the whole product cycle – from production and consumption to waste management and the market for secondary raw materials. EU actions will contribute to closing the loop of the product lifecycles – through the improved recycling and re-use. The goal of this paper is to study how the production of syngas, which is a synthetic gas obtained through gasification process that has some heating value, can be a crucial link for closing the loop in the waste management. In details will be explored whether the conversion of waste, in particular municipal waste, into energy and valuable products will represents a possible solution to flank to the recycling process in order to fulfil sustainability from economic and environmental point of view ensuring a more efficient use of natural resources.
