Solidarity Work
at the “Las Marinas”
waste recycling plant in Levante ll
It was after the Administration Department
of the “Las Marinas” (Levante II) plant lear-
ned about what was being done at other
FCC offices and departments that the idea
of joining this solidarity initiative came up.
As an integral part of a sorting plant, the
need to recover recyclable materials such
as plastics, is very obvious, even though
the greatest incentive for collaborating in
this project was to help others in need.
FCC Levante II management gave its full
support to this initiative from the very start
Committed
The collaborating FCC offices in Madrid collected 500 kilograms of caps.
Besides the financial objective, two additional benefits were achieved:
•
This particular disease became known to the public who were able to become
aware of the problem of rare diseases and the lack of existing funds for its re-
search and treatment.
•
An unprecedented solidarity movement was born. People of all ages, companies,
associations, groups and institutions have all joined efforts to collect plastic caps
to help a minority that is experiencing problems.
One objective:
collect funds to be able to
finance the first year of
research to find a cure for
Ataxia-Telangiectasia
and it has been very welcomed by the staff.
In fact, after only two months, more than
200 kilograms of plastic caps have been
collected.
It is expected that more and more company
workers will join this initiative since the small
amounts contributed by each worker can
add up to tons of help for people in need.
