Improper waste management causes serious environmental and health problems through the pollution of seas and oceans and soil, the proliferation of harmful wildlife, and the spread of disease. Therefore, it is important for El Puerto de Liverpool to take steps aimed at proper, comprehensive waste management, such as reducing the amount of waste generated, ensuring proper disposal, and utilizing alternative methods of waste recovery.
Our main objective is to mitigate the impact of our operations on waste generation by recycling approximately 26,000 metric tons equivalent to 100% of the solid waste with this potential and incorporating circular economy models in accordance with available technology.
