FCC Ámbito, leader in industrial waste management, has secured an extension of the contract for Hazardous Waste Management at the Spanish Army Bases, Barracks and Establishments for a further year. With this renewal, FCC Ámbito reinforces its strategic collaboration with the sector of National Defence.

The contract includes the comprehensive management of waste generated in the different centres of the Spanish Army, while also prioritising recycling solutions, reaffirming its commitment to the circular economy and the preservation of the environment. This proposal is also part of the Environmental and Excellence axes of FCC Medio Ambiente’s 2050 Sustainability Strategy (SS2050), which, among other objectives, aims to exceed 65% of recovered waste.

In the words of Rafael Serrano, head of FCC Ámbito's South Branch: "We are proud to continue collaborating with the Spanish Army in the responsible management of its waste. Our approach is based on applying the management hierarchy, maximising the recovery of materials and minimising environmental impact.
