#Únetealverde: saying goodbye to plastic
Our personal choices make a big difference when it comes to protecting the health of our planet. In light of this conviction, in 2020, Menarini Spain launched the #Únetealverde (Join the Green) campaign. Reusable cups were distributed to help reduce the volume of plastic waste produced in the company’s Badalona offices. Over 400 people received one of these 100% biodegradable cups with the opportunity to purchase hot drinks from the vending machines at a special price.
Menarini also gave its staff cotton bags, sewn from African fabrics and produced by the Diomcoop cooperative. The bags feature a customisable tag and are designed to hold medicines and healthcare products. Through the introduction of these new fabric bags, our workers will avoid using over 1.000 plastic bags per year.
