This achievement, which distinguishes coastal municipalities and the hospitality sector for their environmental commitment, has been congratulated by the Mancomunidad de Municipios del Campo de Gibraltar and its public company ARCGISA. Algeciras has obtained 6,274 points in this edition, avoiding the emission of 103 tons of CO₂ thanks to the involvement of citizens and hospitality establishments.
The president of the Mancomunidad, Susana Pérez Custodio, praised Algeciras's constant work in environmental matters and its ability to unite efforts between administrations, the hospitality sector, and citizens. She emphasized that sustainability should be part of the daily management of municipalities, and that awareness and collaboration are key to development that respects the environment.
For his part, the CEO of ARCGISA, Manuel Abellán, highlighted the importance of continuing to promote selective waste separation and recycling to advance towards a circular economy and reduce the environmental impact, especially in tourism activities.
Ecovidrio's campaign, linked to sustainable tourism, aims to increase selective glass collection in summer and reduce the environmental impact in coastal municipalities. The Mancomunidad and ARCGISA emphasize that Algeciras's commitment strengthens sustainability and circular economy policies in the region.
