Does Ecoembes benefit from fires in recycling plants?

On the contrary. Beyond the material, environmental and even human consequences this kind of accidents can cause, fires put at risk the complex packaging recycling process, which starts when the citizen deposits waste in the selective collection bin and ends when that waste becomes new raw material. These incidents hinder the correct performance of the process, as well as limit the material sale and award options, which represents 10% of the income needed to cover the selective collection expenses at domestic level.
