The European Week for Waste Prevention is starting - between 17 and 25 November, many actions will be carried out from North to South of the country, all of them with the aim of reducing, reusing and recycling the waste produced.
The central theme this year is to warn of the need to reduce the consumption of products with harmful content, but all themes can be addressed. EGF and its Concessionaires have once again aligned themselves with this movement, with continuity actions, but also with initiatives that take place on specific days and times.

It is time to reduce the use of this type of products in the spaces that surround us, such as bathrooms, kitchens, garages, lofts, etc! The aim is to raise public awareness of the need for waste reduction and this initiative is an incentive to reduce the amount of waste produced in Europe.
