BITAFAL's commitment to sustainable production is increasingly present in all aspects of our management. For this reason, once again we participated in the 5th edition of the “Sustainable Uruguay” Expo of the Ministry of the Environment, held at the Antel Arena from June 11 to 14.

On this occasion, our presence was linked to the presentation of the first autonomous electric station in Latin America that we have been building at our Ruta 8 km 27 plant. A great opportunity to inform authorities, businessmen and the general public about the unique characteristics of the project: 100% renewable energy generated from solar panels and stored in high-capacity batteries as well as the most powerful 500 KW chargers available in the country.

A stand with real-time information allowed visitors to know the volume of energy generated, stored and the charging speed of the different vehicles that were in the electric station.

In addition, our General Director Santiago Kröger participated in the panel “Promoting circularity in construction” organized by the Chamber of Construction, presenting to the authorities of the Ministry of the Environment, construction companies and professionals, about the experiences of reusing and recycling waste from different industries in the production of sustainable asphalt, which has already made us a reference on the subject in Uruguay and the region.

A very fruitful exchange with all the actors involved in the road work, which made it possible to verify that there is a long way to go in terms of circularity and that BITAFAL can be a great ally of all companies that need to provide a correct final disposal of their waste, reducing costs and taking care of the environment.

Congratulations to the entire team that made our presence at the Antel Arena possible, for the third consecutive year, presenting our actions in the field of sustainability to the entire society.
