The main aspect to obtain it is that the company that wants it has to <strong>demonstrate, in a reliable way, that it recovers at least 60% of the waste it generates in its activity<\/strong>. That is to say, that it manages to recycle, reuse, or recover these wastes and that it does so on the basis of the provisions of the Waste Law 7\/2022.<\/p>\n<p>The company can exceed this target on its <strong>own or, as is the case in the vast majority of cases, through controlled<\/strong> and continuously audited <strong>suppliers and managers<\/strong>. To put it very simply, the aim is to ensure that as little as possible reaches landfills. And the continuous improvement part of Towards Zero Waste does not end with its achievement. <strong>The challenge is to progress to recover 90% of the waste or more and thus say that the certification has become, simply, Zero Waste (without &#8220;towards&#8221;)<\/strong> and that the positive impact on the planet is even greater.<\/p>\n<p>In our case, the audit that led to obtaining this certification has established that <strong>we recover 86% of the waste we produce on a daily basis<\/strong>. This is a very good figure to start with and close to the ambitious 90 %. And it is also a very interesting goal for the companies we collaborate with. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/en\/blog\/we-present-you-our-sustainability-plan-that-will-go-well-with-yours\/\">As a sustainable supplier<\/a><\/strong> that we are, <strong>by working with companies to advance their digital transformation we also contribute to achieving their environmental goals<\/strong>. Sometimes, the fact that we care about taking care of the planet is an obligation that we have to fulfill in order to qualify for certain projects. Although there is more, the Towards Zero Waste certification is a very powerful indicator that we do so.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;120px&#8221; el_id=&#8221;dos&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1718881439334{margin-top: -100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1721199111754{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #47d7ac !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What is required of printing suppliers to obtain this certification?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Like companies in other sectors, <strong>suppliers in the printing sector must demonstrate that at least 60 % of their waste is adequately recovered<\/strong>, i.e. as required by law, in order to obtain Zero Waste certification.<\/p>\n<p>In this sector, <strong>the circular economy achieves high levels of efficiency, as paper and cardboard<\/strong> are two of the materials that are recycled in the highest percentages. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mailcommsgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Algunas-verdades-sobre-el-papel-y-el-canal-printing.pdf\">two of the materials that are recycled at a higher rate (74 % and 83 % respectively).<\/a><\/strong> (74 % and 83 % respectively).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the paper industry, using waste paper and cardboard as raw material brings significant savings<\/strong> in terms of raw material (obtaining wood from forests), energy use (from the production of paper pulp from wood) and water use (from the production of paper pulp). All this environmental value is passed directly to the companies that use their products (or the small consumers), who want to use their products, but make sure that in doing so they do not harm the planet.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, <strong>the<em> printing<\/em> sector has been working for decades to apply the highest levels of sustainability in its day-to-day<\/strong> business and this is demonstrated, for example, by the awareness of consumers and companies to separate this waste when disposing of it in the containers provided.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;120px&#8221; el_id=&#8221;tres&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1718881445893{margin-top: -100px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1721199240442{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #47d7ac !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Towards Zero Waste certification for MailComms Group<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Thanks to the work carried out in the phase prior to obtaining this certification, <strong>at Mailcomms Group we have a very precise map of our waste and also the ability to document its final destination in different recycling or recovery treatments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, we have implemented <strong>waste tracking and management processes throughout its supply chain and established partnerships with specialized waste managers<\/strong>.
