TENNIS LOVERS WOULD BE ABLE TO RECYLE IN THE MUTUA MADRILEÑA MASTERS MADRID

• 15 tons of containers (plastic, cans and tetrabricks), 6 tons of paper and carton, and 5 tons of glass were recovered in last year tournament

Madrid, October 17th. Since last Monday, when Mutua Madrileña Masters Madrid started, tennis lovers coming to the tournament would be able to cooperate with the containers recycling program thanks to the agreement between the tournament organization, Ecoembes (a non-profir society in charge of the light containers and paper and carton containers management) and Ecovidrio, a non-profit asociation responsible for the glass recycling management in Spain. This is the third year in a row in which this initiative takes place.

Thanks to the mentioned agreement, more than 20 yellow recycling bins have been placed in really visited places, such as bars or restaurants. More then 80 compartimentd bins have also been placed in all the facilities (commercial area, Palacio de Cristal, Madrid Arena, practice areas, etc.). Besides, in order to collect and recover all the paper and carton generated in the tournament, Ecoembes will provide 6 recycling bins and 20 blue bins that will be placed in disposition of the catering, and in the press room, among other places. Ecoembes predictions are more than 25.000 kilos of recycled containers recovered during the Mutua Madrileña Masters Madrid. Containers that otherwise would end up mixed with the rest of residues in the rubbish dump.

Ecovidrio, on its part, has placed four containers in the stand, and has also given out 20 bins of 120 litres of capacity among the catering services, so that they can store comfortably the used glass containers. Besides, they are VACRI type containers, with a great mouth and a elevation and turning over system allowing the unloading of a great volume of glass residues instantly, something that a conventional container doesn’t allow. Ecovidrio expects to recover more than 6 tons of glass containers in the following days.
