PortAventura World joins SEUR Foundation's "Caps for a New Life" initiative
Since its launch, this solidarity project has managed to help 180 children throughout Spain thanks to the collection of 7,179 tons of recycled plastic caps worth more than 1,200,000 euros.
The PortAventura World Foundation joins the solidarity project "Caps for a new life" of the SEUR Foundation. An initiative that aims to help children with rare diseases through the recycling of plastic caps to finance treatments or orthopedic materials not covered by social security.
The objective of this agreement is a commitment on the part of PortAventura World, the largest vacation destination in Europe, to collaborate in the collection of plastic caps in its facilities for subsequent recycling. To this end, a huge heart-shaped garbage can has been placed where all employees and visitors to the park can contribute to the collection of caps.
This solidarity initiative is in line with PortAventura World's Corporate Responsibility strategy, which is committed to a responsible and sustainable management model, which takes the form of projects specifically aimed at waste management, such as selective collection and the recovery of more than 90% of waste.
In addition, this project not only has a social aspect, but also an environmental one. Thus, throughout 2020, Fundación SEUR and its collaborators have managed to help 8 children, who received a total of 64,505 € thanks to the recycling of 387 tons of bottle caps, thus avoiding the emission of 483 tons of CO2.
Ramon Marsal, president of the PortAventura Foundation, expresses his satisfaction at being able to collaborate in this project. In this sense, Marsal states that
"We are very happy to participate in this initiative in which customers and employees can do their bit for the benefit of children in need".
For his part, Ramón Mayo, President of Fundación SEUR, assures that
"Caps for a new life is a project that year after year we continue to support strongly, as its solidarity and sustainable objectives are perfectly aligned with our company philosophy. Seeing how big companies like PortAventura World support us and decide to join the initiative is always an honor to celebrate. In addition, thanks to the involvement of both employees and visitors to the park, together we will be able to collaborate once again with those who need it most".
