The Council of Tenerife and the joint venture FCC-Urbaser have materialized the signing of the new management contract for waste de Tenerife, which will be in force until 2037, with the possibility of extending it for four more years, and which has an award budget of 397,475,058 euros.

The signing of this document formalizes the largest contract in the history of the Island Corporation. “This step, which paves the way for the execution of the new contract starting this Friday, becomes the launch pad for Tenerife to move towards a more sustainable model in waste management, which above all favors the circular economy and attends rigorously to all the indications of the European Union”, explained yesterday the president of the Cabildo, Pedro Martín.

That is why this Administration is working to facilitate and pave the way for a new waste management model in which, in addition, “we want the Tenerife Environmental Complex (CAT) to be a leading place in job creation . The current legislation on waste must be applied in detail, and additional measures are needed for key sectors, we must open ourselves up to the waste industry,” said Martín. The president recalled some of the actions carried out in the current mandate, such as the removal of the 8,004 tons of out-of-use tires that accumulated throughout the Complex, which cost 2.1 million euros.

He also added that during the pandemic he took the opportunity to invest there, “in two of the facilities that were in the worst condition, such as the packaging facility, which needed a significant investment, and the reconversion of the biostabilized plant, which was almost in ruins and that was one of the pending subjects”. For his part, the island councilor for Sustainable Development and the Fight against Climate Change, Javier Rodríguez Medina, indicated that in this new contract “investments are planned both in the Tenerife Environmental Complex and in the different transfer plants to modernize the facilities, always with the aim of improving yields and increasing recovery percentages”.

Investment

The amount contemplated amounts to almost 52 million euros to be executed in the first years of the contract for the expansion and improvement of the insular waste treatment infrastructures. In the same way, the concessionaire is required to recover at least 42% of plastics, steel (51%), aluminum (50%), brick (38%), glass (20%), paper and cardboard (18%). and waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE (37%) included in household waste.

On behalf of the UTE, the director of Urbaser Treatment, Carlos Pérez, pointed out that “we are approaching this contract with great enthusiasm, because it is aligned with circular economy policies, encouraging the concessionaire to reduce the amount of waste that we send to the landfill” . Meanwhile, the general director of FCC Environment, Jorge Payet, pointed out that for his company, this contract “is a new challenge in the face of an important and demanding framework, such as the European and Spanish ones, and that we will meet by attending to all the challenges that mark us administratively , in order to provide a completely sustainable service for the Island”.
