The Chamber of Commerce of Pisa enhances the cultural heritage linked to the company and the economy with InnovArte: a project designed to promote companies and organizations that with their work demonstrate the ability to combine art and innovation. As an experimental edition of the project, from 7th December 2017 to 15th February 2018 in the MAAC premises (Meeting Art Craft Center) of the Palazzo Affari, "SCART® the beautiful and useful side of rejection" opens, a traveling exhibition in Pisa under the direction of architect Alberto Bartalini.
 
The public will be able to admire for free dozens of pieces that have made the history of the Waste Recycling company of Santa Croce sull'Arno that since 2016 has become part of the Hera Group: animals, theatrical costumes, sculptures, installations and statues all rigorously realized with waste materials. The exhibition will be completed by 15 shots by the fashion photographer Andrea Varani, who has portrayed some Hera Group employees dressed in stage costumes made in the SCART workshop and worn last August by the dancers and performers who performed on stage with Andrea Bocelli on Lajatico in the extraordinary context of Teatro del Silenzio.
 
The company chosen for this pilot edition of InnovArte is Waste Recycling, a Tuscan company of the Herambiente Group which deals with the treatment and disposal of industrial waste and which in 2017 took over the Teseco plant branch. Waste Recycling is the owner of the SCART® brand, an artistic and communication project with which the company mission has been integrated and completed since the end of the Nineties: a project founded on the desire to restore life, thanks to the language of art, to materials that every day they become waste. SCART® is a registered trademark in Italy and in Europe, involved in numerous national and international exhibitions and which includes agreements with research and training institutes such as the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and Bologna. Precisely because of its international reach and thanks to the rich heritage of Waste Art, which includes over 900 pieces including sculptures, costumes, paintings and furniture items, SCART® has recently been awarded in the Corporate Art Awards 2017 at the Ministry of Cultural heritage.

The "Business Wo / men" installation has fifteen real figures of businessmen and women who "walk" among the visitors of the exhibition, creating a curious game between true and false, between human beings in flesh and blood and human figures. artificial: each statue was made with a specific recovery material such as leather filaments, shoe reinforcement supports, recovery cardboard, safety belts, frozen peas packages, but also leather cuttings, absorbent cloth triangles, fabric scraps , glass, scrap shearling, wood, polystyrene and recycled plastic flakes. There will also be the costumes that have been realized for various editions of the Teatro del Silenzio of Bocelli in Lajatico from the VII edition of 2012 to the XII of last summer.
