At MailTecK, a MailComms Group company, we achieved a 96.88% recycling rate for waste generated by our operations in fiscal year 2025—the most recent year verified by AENOR—representing an increase over the 2024 figure (95.64%). This progress demonstrates our commitment to responsible management and the effective reduction of the environmental impact of our operations.
AENOR has independently verified this result as part of our Zero Waste certification. This statement certifies the final disposition of the waste we manage. . During the period under review, more than 230 metric tons of waste were recycled. Of the total, only 3.12% was disposed of—that is, 7.42 metric tons.
The concept of “waste recovery” refers to the practice of finding a new use for waste generated by a company’s operations—through recycling, recovery, or reuse—rather than sending it to a landfill. In other words, waste is reintegrated into the production cycle, which contributes to the development of a more circular economy.
The Circular Economy Applied to Communications
As a company specializing in physical and digital communications, we understand that sustainability does not depend solely on digitization. It also involves the responsible management of the materials we use in our day-to-day operations and the waste we generate.
To carry out this initiative, it is very important to recycle the waste we generate, such as paper and cardboard, packaging, metals, wood, inks, and other materials. Doing so keeps resources in use for longer, thereby reducing the need to process virgin raw materials and minimizing the amount of waste that ends up in a landfill.
Transparency vs. Greenwashing
In a climate of questionable advertising and misinformation, where companies are called upon to back up their sustainability claims with verifiable evidence, at MailComms Group we are committed to maximum transparency by publishing this Zero Waste Verification Statement. This certificate is available on our website, allowing all our clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders to view it directly.
We are thus aligning ourselves with the new European regulations aimed at combating greenwashing, particularly Directive (EU) 2024/825, which reinforces the principle of truthfulness in the face of misleading environmental claims and requires that statements related to sustainability be clear, reliable, and verifiable. Furthermore, this regulation aims to ensure that organizations back up their environmental communications with objective, verifiable, and traceable information.
Sustainability is not about making general or empty statements, but about delivering measurable results that can be verified by any individual, company, professional, or public entity that wishes to do so.
The indicators we publish are based on this core concept. Using various tools—such as environmental management certifications endorsed by international organizations and their national certifying bodies, including AENOR, among others—we promote the circular economy and improve our environmental indicators. Furthermore, we report on these efforts in a transparent, comprehensive, and reliable manner, based on certified and verifiable data.
Our Contribution to SDG 12: Responsible Production and Consumption
Progress in the percentage of waste recovered is directly linked to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. This SDG aims to promote waste management based on prevention, recycling, and reuse.
Each additional percentage point of resource recovery represents a greater capacity to close material loops and move toward more sustainable and resilient business models. That is why every small step forward—whether in our case or in that of any company making progress in resource recovery—is great news for the environment and, therefore, for the planet and society.
