Andreu World: restore and recover
It was the first furniture manufacturer in the world with a complete 100% FSC® offer for its wood products. Andreu World is currently making a great effort in R+D+i to develop its own sustainable materials, from 100% recycled and 100% recyclable plastics to natural origin bio-based polymers. It also promotes and facilitates restoration and reuse to extend the life of the designs it produces.
MINI: improving life in cities
Sustainable mobility does not begin or end with the purchase of an electric vehicle. It has to be respectful of the environment throughout its life cycle, starting with the responsible extraction of raw materials and the reduction of the consumption of natural resources. BMW Ibérica organizes the “MINI Design Awards” to support and reward those projects and initiatives that provide sustainable solutions whose objective is to improve life in cities.
Ecoalf: because there is no planet B
Since 2009 they have developed more than 450 recycled nylon, polyester, wool, cotton and even tire fabrics and materials, to turn them into clothing, footwear and fashion accessories for women, men and children. Ecoalf is the pioneer company of sustainability within the fashion sector. A part of the recycled PET that it uses comes from the remains of nets and plastic bottles that accumulate on the seabed.
