Medina. Madrid October 23, 2017 Expansion zero waste Groups such as Pascual, Nestlé, Unilever, P & G, Henkel or L'Oréal are committed to reduce, recycle or recover waste generated in their factories and facilities. The reduction, reuse and recycling of waste generated in production, along with the proper management of the resources used in manufacturing (starting with energy and water) is one of the major challenges addressed by the industry to minimize its environmental impact. Everything that is not recycled or recovered is transferred to landfills or incinerated. For this reason, the European Commission has established over the years more ambitious targets for the treatment and recovery of waste until 2030. The food and consumption sector has been one of the breakthroughs in waste management, implementing the so-called zero spill to waste from production is taken advantage of and does not end up in landfills. Pascual Quality has been marked as a challenge waste zero in landfills in 2020, an objective that has already reached its plant in Gurb (Barcelona), dedicated to the packaging of milk. The Spanish company, which already works to obtain it in its other five plants and its delegations, applies the rule of the 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle), reducing the amount of waste by improving the processes of production of containers and recovering with a correct separation of the residues. Commitment Nestlé also promised that its ten production sites in Spain will send zero waste to the landfill in 2020, a process already achieved by five factories (Herrera del Duque and Mijadas in Extremadura and Reus, Viladrau and Girona in Catalonia). In four years, Nestlé has gone from sending 4.1 kilos of waste per ton of product manufactured in 2012 to 1 kilogram in 2016, 72% less, by separating waste at source, improving storage and the commitment to recycling and reuse. Unilever was the first company in 2015 to reach zero waste in its global network of 240 factories in 67 countries (63 in Europe). This process has generated savings of more than 200 million euros in waste management costs. This measure, which is part of the Unilever Plan for Sustainable Living, applies not only to plants, but also to offices. When Unilever Spain moved to the headquarters of Viladecans (Barcelona) in 2012, this commitment was already considered, eliminating wastebaskets from jobs and creating common areas for waste collection. P & G announced this year that it will make further investments in recycling and reuse of waste to reach zero waste at its 100 production sites by 2020. 56% of production has already reached the target and the rest will do so in four years, which means eliminating or reusing 650,000 metric tons of waste. Spain is among the 19 countries where all plants have achieved zero waste, such as Montornés del Vallés (Barcelona), Mequinenza (Zaragoza) and Jijona (Alicante), which manufacture feminine protection products, baby care and incontinence for adults . Scope L'Oréal reduced its waste generation by finished product by 35% compared to 2005, as part of its plans to reduce waste by 60% by 2020. By the end of 2016, four years ahead of schedule, production of the cosmetics group had already achieved zero waste at the landfill, including the Burgos capillary plant and Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), the international center for the production of nail polish.
