A magazine where human ingenuity meets environmental responsibility. Second Nature is Maccaferri’s space for reflection on the balance between transformative design and the preservation of our planet, for the generations building today and those yet to come.

GREENLIFE4SEAS enables the transformation of two high-impact marine waste streams—dredged sediments and mussel shells—into resources for coastal engineering and infrastructure. It proposes concrete circular-economy solutions capable of reducing environmental impacts and generating new value for European port territories.

From a stadium perched on a 200-meter cliff to the world’s largest urban park, two landmark Saudi Vision 2030 projects are redefining what infrastructure can be. In both cases, Maccaferri’s geotechnical solutions built around the TerraMesh system work with the landscape rather than against it, using local materials, integrating drainage and irrigation, and blending seamlessly into the terrain. The result is engineering that disappears into the environment while making extreme conditions livable.

The redevelopment of the former landfill site in Cava de’ Tirreni tells the story of environmental restoration in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Through integrated and sustainable engineering solutions, the project has restored safety to the area and opened up new prospects for sustainable use and management.
