FCC Ámbito obtained the Zero Waste Management certification awarded by AENOR for its industrial waste recovery and valorisation plants located in Castellbisbal and Pont de Vilomara i Rocafort, both in the province of Barcelona. With these awards, FCC Ámbito demonstrates both the viability of converting industrial waste into resource and its commitment to sustainability and excellence in waste management.

On the one hand, FCC Ámbito has achieved certification for its refuse-derived fuel (RDF) manufacturing plant located in the municipality of Castellbisbal. During the verification process, the plant reached 97.41% recovery of the waste managed. 

The company has also achieved certification for its WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) treatment and recycling plant, specifically for refrigerators and cooling equipment, located in the municipality of Pont de Vilomara i Rocafort. During the verification process, this plant achieved a 91.53% recovery rate for the waste managed.

These achievements underline FCC Ámbito's dedication and commitment to excellence and to achieving the goals set out in its 2050 Sustainability Strategy, which it shares with FCC Medio Ambiente, specifically in the environmental axis, which aims to transform the production model of FCC Ámbito's industrial customers to the Circular Economy.
