We implement a circular construction model in Madrid

At Sacyr, we are leading the transformation of construction in Madrid through innovative circular economy initiatives—from the management of construction sacks to the recycling of plasterboard and the reuse of pallets. This is how we are minimizing the environmental impact of our construction sites.

In the latest installment of the “Circular Transformation” series, we meet Francisco Navarro, David del Río, and Marta Pereira from the Quality and Environment team. They share some of the practices being implemented on construction sites in Madrid to improve circularity, optimize resource use, and prevent waste generation.

 

  1. Sack Management: We separate clean used sacks (e.g., for cement, plaster, etc.) directly on-site so they can be 100% recovered as raw material for new sacks, thus avoiding their classification as hazardous waste.
  2. Plasterboard Recycling: We return leftover plasterboard to Placo Saint-Gobain for recycling and reuse in the manufacturing of new boards, ensuring 100% material recovery.
  3. Wood Pallet Return: We reuse pallets for transporting materials, reducing the need to manufacture new ones and minimizing wood waste generation.
