The journalists were accompanied by managers from the plant and SIGAUS, visiting the control screen room which monitors the proper operation of the entire process, as well as the laboratory and its operators, where both the waste arriving at the plant and the resulting regenerated base are analysed.

In both the training and the guided tour, the journalists showed great interest in the system’s operation, and in the detailed process that enables this very polluting waste, to be transformed into new raw material or energy after being subjected to the appropriate treatments.

“The oil’s life cycle is indeed a good example of the Circular Economy,” explained Eduardo de Lecea, who listed the advantages of being able to transform this waste into a resource “over and over again, giving it infinite life.”

The President of the APIA association, María García, thanked SIGAUS for this type of initiative for the press, which she considered to be “essential to enable communicators to have access to the most reliable sources and proven information.” “Because only in this way will it be possible for us to properly communicate to society these matters which are mostly unknown and, in certain cases, way too technical.”
