Over 2,200 kilos of glass were recycled at the Vendimia Fest
In addition to what was collected by the Tarikapuy recycling company, 260 kilos of paper were added.
The idea of carrying out more and more sustainable events has gained strength within our community. An example of this is the participation of Tarikapuy, a company that emerged from our Innovation Factory dedicated to the recycling of plastics, paper and glass, in the last Vendimia Fest Providencia, held last weekend in Barrio Italia.
Carolina Arredondo, actress and neighbor of Providencia, tells us that together with her team and with the help of the neighbors, they managed to recycle 2,218 kilos of glass, 290 kilos of paper and cardboard, one kilo of cans and 10 kilos of plastic. The event organized by Chile Vinos and the Municipality of Providencia managed to summon more than 60,000 people in two days.
"While this is an advance, we know that the goal is much higher, so we invite all companies and producers of events to consider our recycling service. Also, we remind neighbors to demand from the organizers more environmentally friendly packaging options. That is our philosophy and most important goal", Carolina indicated.
