Paper Sacks Go Circular Spain is making waves in the construction industry. This new alliance, co-founded by packaging giant Mondi, aims to tackle a big problem: construction waste.
A Fresh Approach to Construction Waste
In Spain, building sites generate over 30% of all waste. Shockingly, less than half of this gets recycled. That’s where Paper Sacks Go Circular Spain steps in. They’re focusing on paper bags used for cement, plaster, and insulation.
“We’re proud to be part of this initiative,” says Carlos Martinez Ezquerra from Mondi. He’s excited about the potential impact on the industry’s business model.
The alliance isn’t just talk. They’re already seeing results. The Arpada Group in Spain is leading the charge, separating construction waste for better recycling.
But Paper Sacks Go Circular Spain isn’t stopping there. They’re looking at the bigger picture, aiming to team up with other waste streams. It’s all about scale and efficiency.
Building a Sustainable Future
In June, the alliance hosted a webinar that drew over 80 industry pros. They discussed how to spread the word and get more companies on board.
Next up, they’re forming working groups. These teams will tackle everything from process optimization to training and communication.
The goal? To create a model that works not just in Spain, but across Europe and beyond. It’s about cutting waste management costs and boosting recycling rates.
For construction companies, this could be a game-changer. It’s not just good for the planet – it could save them money too.
So, what’s next for Paper Sacks Go Circular Spain? They’re calling on more industry partners to join the cause. It’s a chance to be part of something big, something that could reshape how we think about construction waste.
In the end, it’s about more than just paper bags. It’s about building a more sustainable future, one construction site at a time. And with alliances like Paper Sacks Go Circular Spain leading the way, that future looks a little brighter.
