Waste collection
In collaboration with Ecoembes, the ‘Run, Recycle and Breathe’ campaign will be launched during the races and different containers, yellow for cans, briks and plastic containers and blue for paper and cardboard containers, will be placed both at the Runners’ Expos and along the route.
Thanks to this measure, 99.9 per cent of the bottles used in the Valencia Half Marathon 2019 and a total of 6,920 kilos of plastics (80 per cent containers and 20 per cent packaging materials) were recovered for recycling. Likewise, 4,300 kilos of paper and cardboard were collected (from fresh fruit packaging to products from the runner’s bag).
For its part, at the Valencia Marathon 2019, a total of 14,680 kilograms of waste were collected. Specifically, 10,780 kilos of plastic packaging and 3,360 kilos of cardboard.
