EcoMuvi’s Circular Warehouse reopens in Albano Laziale: sets, costumes and production materials in search of a new life

EcoMuvi’s Circular Warehouse is reopening its doors in Albano Laziale for a major new clearance cycle scheduled between April and May.

Following the excellent results of the first edition in 2025—with more than €40,000 saved in disposal costs and over 90% of materials given a new life, through sales to more than 15 productions and donations to over 20 associations—EcoMuvi is renewing this practical initiative dedicated to the reuse, redistribution and recovery of materials from the audiovisual sector.

Sets, costumes and production support materials are once again being made available to find a new destination. These are objects that have already appeared on sets, created atmospheres, dressed characters and supported the production of films and series. EcoMuvi is now ensuring that they can continue to generate value.

For EcoMuvi, every material leaving a production is not waste to be discarded, but a resource to be brought back into circulation.

Audiovisual warehouses can therefore become a new model: no longer places where materials simply accumulate, but spaces for transition, selection and transformation. Places where something that appears to have reached the end of its cycle can instead begin a new one. With this new opening, EcoMuvi continues in the same direction: reducing waste, promoting the circular economy and generating tangible impact.

What will be available in the 2026 edition?

Over the coming months, different types of materials will be made available, including:

• set pieces and scenic elements
• costumes
• production support materials and equipment

What will the materials cost? Reduced prices and donations to charities

All materials will be available at significantly reduced prices, with the aim of making valuable resources more accessible and encouraging circular-economy practices across the audiovisual and cultural sectors.

Any remaining items may be donated to charities and non-profit organizations, in keeping with the project’s social mission since its launch.

The Circular Warehouse was created to encourage transfer, reuse and redistribution, rather than temporary-use arrangements.

How doesHow does the selection process work? Digital pre-selection followed by a warehouse appointment**

To make the process more orderly and efficient, EcoMuvi invites interested parties to begin by selecting materials digitally.

It will be possible to:

• request digital lists of the available materials by email
• receive photographs of selected items, where available
• make an initial selection remotely
• arrange an appointment to view the materials in person

This approach facilitates targeted meetings, avoids unstructured visits, respects everyone’s time and ensures that requests are handled more efficiently.

Where is the EcoMuvi Circular Warehouse located?

The warehouse is located in Albano Laziale, at the same site used during the project’s previous edition. The exact location will be confirmed directly when arranging an appointment.

Who is the EcoMuvi Circular Warehouse for?

While audiovisual productions remain the main priority, the Circular Warehouse is open to a wider range of organizations and professionals capable of giving these materials a new life.

Potential recipients include:

• production companies
• audiovisual professionals
• theatres and cultural venues
• schools, academies and creative workshops
• associations
• charities
• non-profit organizations
• local organizations involved in social, educational or cultural projects

Anyone who is not directly interested but knows an organization that could benefit from the initiative can also help by sharing the opportunity.

How can I request the material lists or book an appointment?

To receive the digital lists of available materials, request information about prices and availability, or arrange an appointment, please write to: magazzino@ecomuvi.eu

Through this address, you can:

• request lists of available materials
• receive images of selected items, where available
• ask for information about prices and procedures

Because the future of the audiovisual sector also depends on our ability to rethink what happens after production: transforming logistics into responsibility and ensuring that something which has already served one story can help create many more.
