Radio talk-show at SIGAUS’ stand
As an innovation for this year’s Motortec event, SIGAUS’ stand welcomed a radiophonic talk-show named “Ecogestiona” from the broadcaster Radio Intereconomía that spoke of the reduction of environmental impact in the sector for automotive after-sales
in a specially dedicated broadcast. The main element of the show was a discussion on the handling of car repair residues, in which Nuria Álvarez, Head of Institutional Relations at CONEPA (The Spanish Federation of Automotive Professionals), Julián Madruga, Head of Companies Affiliated to SIGNUS (Integrated Management System for Used Pneumatics), Raúl González, journalist specialised in the car repair sector, and Fermín Martínez de Hurtado, Head of Institutional Relations and Communication at SIGAUS all took part.
The programme touched on the important task undertaken by car repairs in caring for the environment, the measures that they have adopted in recent years to protect it, or how residues in the automotive sector such as waste oils or tyres are managed, along with many other residues.
Acknowledgment for car repairs
From its stand, SIGAUS also informed the car repairs in attendance of its Collaborator Car Repair Programme, an initiative geared towards those workshops who perform oil changing operations for vehicles, and who collaborate in the collection and recycling of waste oils, fulfilling the requirements and good practices set forth in the applicable environmental legislation in force.
These establishments can sign up for this Programme at no cost and receive the accolade of “SIGAUS Collaborator Car Repair”, which comes with a special free sign to hang in their stores. In this way, clients are duly informed that this establishment takes part in the recycling of the waste oils extracted from their vehicles, initiating the recovery of the residue and explaining why the SIGAUS surcharge (0.06€/kg) is payable when a motorist acquires new lubricating oil.
