POLICY AND STRATEGY

At the internal level, the Catalan Waste Agency – as part of the Government of Catalonia – uses green criteria and green suppliers approved by the Central Supplies Commission of the Catalan Government. Green criteria have been included in all the events organised by the agency and its publications. Furthermore, since 2013 a system has been encouraged for reusing disused furniture and office equipment within the Agency.
