For the third consecutive year, our Spanish chapter, Cada Lata Cuenta, has partnered with the Cádiz City Council and local associations to promote sustainability during Carnaval de Cádiz, one of Spain’s most renowned carnivals.
To encourage recycling, over 70 additional recycling points in the city’s most popular squares, making it easier for festival-goers to dispose of waste correctly.
Our recycling ambassadors actively engaged with the crowd, reminding people to keep public spaces clean and recycle their drink cans wherever they were celebrating. Their efforts helped raise awareness about the importance of recycling, especially during large public events like Carnival.
In addition, our team conducted surveys on recycling habits outside the home, gathering valuable insights into public attitudes toward sustainability.
“Our goal is to achieve 100% can recycling during Carnival. Cans are one of the most sustainable and easy-to-recycle packaging options. By simply placing them in the yellow bin, we can guarantee their recycling—a small effort with a big environmental impact.”
— Pablo García, PhD in Ecology and Director of Cada Lata Cuenta in Spain
This initiative, in collaboration with the Cádiz City Council, continues strengthening the recycling culture, proving that sustainability and celebration can go hand in hand.
