The Meridiano shopping center, owned by Klépierre, will use reused wood and recycled materials to decorate its spaces during the Christmas period with the aim of reducing the impact of these works on the environment.
Under the motto ‘Our Role is for you to enjoy a Sustainable Christmas’, Meridiano has launched a series of initiatives that include, among others, the use of about 2,000 kg of reused wood, such as the center’s own recycled pallets that, at the end of the Christmas campaign, they will be transported to a recycling point by the local company Pídeme lo que quest, which is in charge of both the decoration and the supply of materials, another example of the center’s commitment to the community.
The leading shopping center in Tenerife will also focus on authenticity with the use of 100% natural fir trees. In parallel, Meridiano will organize workshops for participants to develop their own creations from reusable materials such as wooden decorations and Christmas bags, all of them made with recycled components. Some days that will be enlivened by a violinist and a saxophonist.
Along these lines, instead of using conventional paper and plastics, the shopping center will opt for the use of sustainable paper to wrap Christmas gifts.
With the ‘The Paper of Christmas’ initiative, both Meridiano and Klépierre reiterate their strong commitment to energy efficiency and the responsible use of resources, fully aligning with Act4Good, the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility strategy.
“At the Meridiano shopping center we believe in the importance of celebrating these important dates in a responsible and sustainable way. We invite our customers to join us in this initiative and enjoy a Christmas full of joy, creativity and respect for our environment,” says Rodo Jaraíz, commercial director of Meridiano.
