SITA (originally Société industrielle de transport automobile)〔 (French Ministry of Culture )〕 is the main brand representing Suez Environnement's waste subsidiaries in Europe, North America, the Asia Pacific zone and Australia. Following the merger of Suez company and Gaz de France in 2008, Suez Environnement became a listed group on the New York Stock Exchange, Brussels Stock Exchange and the Paris Stock Exchange. SITA is a significant part of the Suez Environnement business, which now as a waste management and water treatment specialist is fully focused on sustainable development. It owns, operates or has submitted planning applications for a number of incineration and In-vessel composting 〔(Planning documentation ) In-vessel composting plant Tormarton, South Gloucestershire, UK, ''planning.southglos.gov.uk''〕〔(Application Number P203/08 (SA), In-vessel composting plant Cranbourne, Victoria, Australia ). ''www.casey.vic.gov.au''〕 plants. Sita's services include business and residential waste disposal, street cleansing, landfill engineering, civic amenity site management and energy from waste.〔(Sita background ), ''www.sita.co.uk'', Accessed 24.11.06〕 ==History== SITA was created in 1919 to modernise domestic waste collection in Paris and to cope with the rapid rise in the volume of domestic waste generated by Parisians. SITA was taken over by Societe Lyonnaise des Eaux et de l'Eclairage in 1971 and became a part of La Compagniede SUEZ. The aim of the acquisition was to allow SITA to respond to the changes taking place in the market at the time. New facilities were built to better manage the landfill process and to allow SITA to incinerate domestic waste. New markets were developed with local authorities, such as selective glass collection schemes and the collection and treatment and clinical waste from hospitals. In 1997, La Compagnie de Suez and Lyonnaise des Eaux merged to form the new group, Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux and later Suez Environnement was created. Following the merger, the group gradually began to focus on two main areas: energy and environment developing new technologies for the treatment of waste, recycling and the production of renewable energy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SITA (waste management company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
