Ecofira awards the Innovation Diploma 2016 to FCC Medio Ambiente
The Innovation Diploma 216 was awarded to FCC Medio Am-
biente for its ”50 collection containers” initiative and the incor-
poration of hybrid electric vehicles in its activities. Elena Cebrián,
Councilwoman for Agriculture, the Environment, Climate Change
and Rural Development, handed out the prize.
This recognition of the work carried out by the Levante I Regional
Office headed by Salvador Otero rewards the pioneer wager of the
Valencia Regional Government. It underscores Company’s close
cooperation with the City Council whose objective is to comply
with current regional Law, as contemplated in the Comprehensive
Waste Plan and the Zone Plan for the above-mentioned city, that
promotes the implementation of sorted organic waste collection.
Besides the “5o Container” initiative, FCC unveiled a fleet of hybrid
electric vehicles, with zero emissions, featuring a soundproofed lift
for containers. This represents yet another step in fulfilling its goal,
which is to improve of the community’s quality of life.
Another commitment to improving the quality of life of citizens as
part of the sustainable and intelligent city philosophy supported
by FCC that has been very positively received by Joan Ribó, the
mayor of Valencia, and other municipal managers.
The pilot test for the “5o container” initiative led FCC managers to
propose to the Valencia City Council the use of a separate vehi-
cle, easily identifiable by neighbours, for the collection of organic
waste. To add a significant qualitative element to the project, FCC
incorporated a hybrid electric truck that is non-polluting in terms
of emissions as well as noise. A total of 26,909 people will benefit
from the pilot test in which FCC incorporates the innovative, zero
emissions, hybrid electric vehicle.
