SIGAUS and GENCI will once again support the National Congress of the Association of Environmental Information Journalists (APIA), for the sixth consecutive year in the case of SIGAUS, and for the second year in the case of GENCI. This 16th edition is one of the leading events in environmental journalism, held every two years, which brings together journalists, communication professionals, environmentalists, engineers, and environmental educators or communicators, among others, to foster debate, assess the current state of the field, and, above all, put forward for discussion conclusions and possible solutions to the main challenges in environmental communication.
This year's edition, themed "Let's tell some truths", will include talks and case studies with SIGAUS and GENCI to highlight the importance of environmental awareness and of communication as a means to involve all those participating in the waste management chain, in this case used industrial oils and professional packaging waste. For example, effective communication ensures that those responsible for such waste know the best practices to follow so they can be managed correctly and reintroduced into the market. Clear communication is also essential to guarantee maximum transparency and traceability in various waste management operations and their outcomes.

María García, President of APIA, noted that "this year we are organizing the environmental journalism congress focusing on disinformation and combating hoaxes, Let's tell some truths. And for that we need entities that believe in data and traceability of information.
