The Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) has updated some of its urban installations in the Port of Eivissa with the addition of 75 new litter bins made from recycled material extracted from the sea. These bins have been made from old fishing nets which have fallen into disuse.
The initiative falls under Serveo's cleaning and maintenance service for the ports of Ibiza and La Savina. At the same time, the company in charge of making the litter bins from recycled material is Fábregas.
Renewal of this urban equipment is the port authority's commitment to promoting the circular economy and environmental awareness. It is also an initiative which fits in with port-city integration.
Commitment to a circular economy
In March 2023, the APB had already installed 8 benches and 8 litter bins in the Port of Palma, which were also made from recycled fishing nets. At that time, it was carried out by the Plastic Free Oceans campaign run by the Gravity Wave association.
