In a world where around 2 billion tons of solid waste are produced annually, the need to adopt sustainable practices is not only urgent, it is vital. At TMA, we have been committed to the Zero Waste philosophy for more than two decades, under which we direct all our waste management and disposal activities. This approach not only seeks to recover materials and recycle them, but to redesign the life cycles of resources so that every product is reusable, thus aligning with the principles of nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"THE_CIRCULAR_ECONOMY_A_SUSTAINABLE_MODEL\"><\/span><strong>THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY, A SUSTAINABLE MODEL<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the Circular Economy, we manage waste in a way that maximizes its valorization. From the collection of waste at its source to its transformation into new raw materials, through a meticulous process of selection, classification and treatment, our goal is to close the recycling cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This economy not only focuses on recycling but prioritizes reduction and reuse, reducing the need for new resources and minimizing environmental impact. It is a direct response to the massive generation of waste and its potential to be transformed into new products without having to extract new resources from the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WASTE_MATERIALS_AND_PROCESSES_AT_TMA\"><\/span><strong>WASTE, MATERIALS AND PROCESSES AT TMA<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-13064 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"Operario manipulando residuos valorizables\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-570x570.png 570w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-1000x1000.png 1000w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1-700x700.png 700w, https:\/\/tma.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Copia-de-Dia-Mundial-de-la-Seguridad-y-Salud-en-el-Trabajo-Anuncio-de-video-para-LinkedIn-1.png 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/400;\" \/><\/b><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our facilities,<strong> we handle all types of waste, from non-hazardous and hazardous industrial waste to recoverable, biosanitary and MARPOL (Marine Pollution)<\/strong>.
