The Chamber has finally approved the bill amending Articles 9 and 41 of the Constitution. Let’s see what this means and how the novelty has been welcomed by Oltremateria.
Safeguarding the environment and biodiversity is one of the fundamental principles of the Constitution of our Republic.
In fact, the draft law aimed at amending two articles of the Constitutional Charter, 9 and 41, has been definitively approved.
Let’s see how the two new articles are and what this entails.
Art. 9 reads “The Republic promotes the development of culture and scientific and technical research. It protects the landscape and the historical and artistic heritage of the nation. It protects the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems, also in the interests of future generations. the law of the state governs the ways and forms of animal protection.”
In a clear and precise way, it is therefore stated that the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems are part of the patrimonies protected by our State.
All this is done in the interest of future generations, as this heritage must remain unchanged and in the availability of the next.
Art.41, the second object of this historic change, is presented as follows: “Private economic initiative is free. It cannot be carried out in contravention of social utility or in such a way as to damage security, freedom, human dignity, health and the environment. The law determines the appropriate programmes and controls for public and private economic activity to be directed and coordinated for social and environmental purposes.”
It is addressed directly to companies as protagonists of this necessary protection.
A further limit is placed on their activity as they will also have to respect health and the environment, stressing also how the legislator can intervene to control and give guidelines that also take into account the environment.
In Oltremateria the novelty has been received with great satisfaction. .
“We are finally pleased – said Loris Casalboni, CEO of Oltremateria, – that our Republic has included in our Constitution the protection of the environment. It’s become a fundamental principle an aspect that has always seen us active and at the forefront: the environment, nature and the various forms of life.”
“Since the foundation of Oltremateria, – continues Casalboni – our mission has been to give concrete life to Green Life, the philosophy that provides a low environmental impact for the health and well-being of people. Since the beginning we have designed and manufactured water-based materials, systems and resins for continuous surfaces as well as innovative solutions oriented to the environment and to the improvement of health and quality of life. All through eco-friendly systems and materials to prevent the main pathologies resulting from indoor and outdoor pollution”
Over time, the Oltremateria laboratories have developed other eco-friendly products such as Oleomalta, a continuous surface based on sunflower oil or Ecopur that exploits special natural inerts purifies the air and creates a barrier against bacterial and viral proliferation.
Aspect absolutely not to be neglected is that every product Oltremateria is strictly certified by the major Italian and foreign laboratories.
But the research activity is always active and is increasingly focusing on the use of recycled materials such as waste from the processing of mirrors, glass, light bulbs, earthenware, Carrara marble and mother-of-pearl: this will greatly reduce the environmental impact.
“We are a healthy reality, just like our principles. This makes us appreciate and choose from companies, professionals and end users. Today we feel stronger thanks to this amendment of the Constitution. And as I always say – concludes Casalboni: Live Nature, choose Oltremateria “
