Upcoming Trade Shows Madrid, Spain for Recycling

Madrid's recycling industry is experiencing a dynamic period of growth and innovation. There’s great economic activity driven by innovative companies like CARPA and national events like the National Congress on Recovery and Recycling congress. CARPA, a major recycler of paper-based materials wholly owned by IP, is one of the best examples of how seriously the city takes its goal to fully transition to a circular economy, while the upcoming national congress underscores the industry's focus on key challenges and future trends. CARPA, with over 40 years of experience, plays a pivotal role in Madrid’s recycling industry. Operating three waste treatment and recovery warehouses in the wider Madrid area, CARPA specializes in collecting used paper and cardboard for recycling at its Madrid recycled containerboard mill in Fuenlabrada. The company's operations are integral to the production of high-quality recycled containerboard, which is then turned into corrugated boxes for everyday consumer products. CARPA's services extend beyond paper recycling, encompassing integral waste management, secure and confidential waste destruction, and selective collection and transportation. The company manages both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and ensures proper treatment and disposal while adhering to environmental regulations. They also offer environmental awareness programs and provide general waste management advice. Outside of business, Madrid is also host to the National Congress on Recovery and Recycling, organized by the Spanish Federation of Recovery and Recycling. The congress will address critical industry issues, including generational change in family businesses, talent management in uncertain times, the recycling of the future (digitalization, automation, and industry consolidation), and market instability. The event has garnered significant support over the years, with confirmed main sponsors, partner companies, and media partners. The congress will also feature a gala dinner, where the Lifetime Dedication to Recovery and Mother Earth awards will be presented, recognizing outstanding contributions to the recycling sector and environmental protection.
