• This project teams up with EDUCA’s audit offices in different business sectors

 

EDUCA Business Association and the Association of Professional Image Consultants in Valladolid (ASEIMPEVA, the Spanish acronym) have signed a partnership agreement to work in circular economy projects that allow identifying the needs of hair salons and barbershops businesses in the province of Valladolid in terms of waste management and reassessment and possible ecodesign formulas for non-recyclable products.

 

The agreement will settle ASEIMPEVA in the circular economy projects currently developed by EDUCA Business Association in cooperation with the Agency for Innovation and Economic Development of Valladolid City Council within the initiative #ValladolidCircular.

 

In this context, Jorge Gutiérrez, President of EDUCA Business Association, has referred to the different audit offices that are carried out by the Association “in different kinds of business in order to promote their certification in circular economy good practices“. Actually, EDUCA leads a certification project thanks to a European circular economy label based on the definitions and standards of the European Union.

 

For his part, Mariano Castaño, President of the Association of Professional Image Consultants in Valladolid (ASEIMPEVA), has made public the sector’s concern for the waste it produces daily (which most cannot be recycled at the moment). He has also advocated for “the need for every company to be incorporated in the circular economy, not just for civic responsibility and environmental awareness, but also for efficiency purposes“.

 

The agreement between these two associations will allow auditing many hair salons and barbershops in order to establish the standards and indicators that must be taken into account in this sort of company when taking a leap towards a circular economy model.

 

Besides, EDUCA Business Association is already putting into effect this analysis in companies from other economic sectors: production and marketing of hotel equipment (Inhostel), computer equipment (AMG Informática), ecodesign (Ivan Diez Estudio Creativo), events (Strategia Infinita), fire prevention systems (Crespo Extintores), repair and maintenance services for household appliances (El Manitas), earthworks and excavations (Excavaciones Pisuerga), cable manufacturing (Grupo CSV).
