Ecopark helps Lliria improve material recycling program
Employees at SRG Global’s Lliria facility, passionate about doing their part to minimize their environmental impact, launched “Ecopark,” an onsite industrial material recycling center. Ecopark serves as a collection area, sorting center and distribution point for the company’s plastic, metal and aluminum scrap and other expended industrial materials, and serves as an example for others.
In 2015, we reached an industry-first agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Guardian’s U.S. glass plants. We were recognized publicly for taking a proactive leadership position in the industry to reduce emissions at our facilities.
