At Aticco we are celebrating Sustainability Month with a special program of talks, activities and initiatives focused on ecology and environmental protection in the personal and corporate spheres.
Rethinking our lifestyles and adopting environmentally responsible behavior has become a priority if we are to address the climate emergency. More and more governments and corporations are implementing protocols to control emissions, encourage recycling and make efficient and responsible use of energy. This social awareness is spreading day by day, but we always have the opportunity to go one step further to reduce our ecological footprint.
In order for future generations to enjoy the same opportunities and conditions, it is essential that our daily actions contribute to prevent the degradation of the natural resources on which we depend. Each one of us has in our hands the possibility of collaborating to this improvement, making our motto of the three Rs »Reduce, Reuse and Recycle» our own.
From Aticco we want to do our bit in the fight for the preservation of the environment by celebrating Sustainability Month, with a program of interesting talks, initiatives and workshops. During the next few weeks we will focus on the textile industry, one of the most polluting industries on the planet. We will also talk about sustainability in the corporate environment and the need to implement a production and consumption model based on the circular economy, which optimizes the reuse of materials and reduces waste generation.

IMPACT EVENINGS - May 5th 18:00h
Circular economy, from waste to profit
The way we manufacture and consume is not sustainable. We need a change of mindset from linear to circular, enabling the use of resources and promoting systems efficiency. The SDGs are a guide on this path, and organizations are also responsible for this impact.
In this round table -moderated by Robert Ferrer, strategic communication and CSR mentor- we will have the experience of members of organizations that have managed to turn the paradigm around to turn waste into profit: Marilú Tomaselli (Head of Sales at Phenix), Montse Bayen (CEO and promoter of By My Eco - Back to Eco), Diana Vargas (Co-founder of Salvados Beer) and Oriol Segarra (CEO of Bûmerang). Thanks to their perspectives, we will be able to explore different aspects related to circularity both in a business environment and in the role of consumers.
*The event will be held in a hybrid format hybrid format.
