Maresme Circular<\/strong>, the brand of the Maresme Waste Consortium<\/strong>, celebrated young talent by taking part this Thursday 6th June in the awards ceremony of the 6th edition of the Metr\u00f3polis FP Lab<\/strong>, a programme of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area<\/strong> and the BCN Vocational Training Foundation <\/strong>that aims to promote innovation and creativity among vocational training students while bringing them closer to the labour market.<\/p>\n The initiative consists of thirteen companies proposing thirteen real challenges<\/strong>, offering students from different branches of vocational training<\/strong> the opportunity to develop a collaborative project that responds to those challenges<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In its 6th edition, Maresme Circular has joined the programme by posing the following challenge to the students: How can we separate and recycle everyday textile waste that is thrown into the grey bin?<\/strong> The volume of textile waste in our country is around one million tonnes<\/strong>, but only a small part of it is collected selectively and reused locally. How can we improve this?<\/p>\n “For those of us who come from the environmental sector, who are constantly surrounded by bad news, the enthusiasm<\/strong> shown by the finalists was a breath of fresh air<\/strong>“, said the director of Maresme Circular, Carles Salesa<\/strong>, who also highlighted “the students’ capacity for extraction and creativity, for going beyond their academic comfort zone”.<\/p>\n13 companies and 13 existing challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n
