Waste Control Corporate center All office printers are removed to a Madrid recycling plant, where they are recycled according to current norms and made available to suppliers for re-use. The company responsible for the operation is a Special Employment Center, meaning that PRISA thus fulfills a double objective: helping the environment and aiding workers with disabilities. PRISA Noticias Pressprint cuenta con gestores autorizados que se encargan de retirar los residuos contaminados dePressprint has authorized managers who are responsible for removing contaminated residues from ink, such as solvents. Aluminum is gathered in containers which are then collected by an authorized agent. In 2013, 68,805 kg of aluminum thus produced were melted down for the development of new products. Pressprint recycles -- either at our own plants or through outsourcing -- residual paper as well as returned newspapers and magazine supplements. Waste and residue generated during the printing process are classified by potential use and are removed by recycling companies. Returned newspapers and magazine supplements are recycled by companies located nearby the distributors’ collection depots. We ensure that recycling companies possess the appropriate certification in waste management and disposal. Other recycled waste includes plastic containers, oils, toners, and scrap iron, copper and other materials generated in the decommissioning of obsolete machinery. Obsolete computers and other IT devices that may pose a risk to the environment are regularly removed by certified and authorized waste-management companies. During 2013, all Group companies have run campaigns to raise awareness and to foster a more rational use of energy at their facilities and to rationalize energy consumption.
