📋 Tender Overview
Minister Nelly Paredes highlighted that this initiative promotes the circular economy, reduces plastic waste and contributes to the well-being of children in vulnerable situations.The Tapas that transform campaign, promoted by the Ministry of the Environment (Minam), continues to add allies to promote recycling and strengthen citizen solidarity. On this occasion, the District Municipality of Lince joined this initiative that promotes the collection of plastic lids to contribute to the care of the environment and support families who require resources for specialized medical treatments.
The presentation of the campaign was held at the headquarters of the district commune and included the participation of the Minister of the Environment, Nelly Paredes, and the mayor of Lince, Malca Schnaiderman, who highlighted the importance of joining efforts between public institutions and citizens to promote actions with environmental and social impact.
During the activity, the head of Minam pointed out that this initiative seeks to raise awareness about the value of usable waste and demonstrate that materials such as plastic lids can be reincorporated into the production cycle through recycling, also generating concrete benefits for the people who need it most.
Each plastic lid that we recover is a small act of environmental responsibility, because we prevent it from ending up contaminating our ecosystems. We are giving it a second chance through recycling, but the most extraordinary thing is that this environmental action becomes solidarity, since the collection of lids also represents hope for families who need to pay for the treatment of their children when they suffer burns or have skin problems, he noted.
Likewise, he highlighted that sustainable development implies not only protecting the environment, but also promoting actions that improve peoples quality of life and strengthen solidarity among citizens.
The Caps that transform campaign promotes the collection of bottle caps for water, soda, and cleaning product containers, high-quality recyclable materials that can be transformed into new products through recycling processes.
In addition to reducing the amount of waste that reaches landfills or ends up contaminating streets, rivers and other ecosystems, this initiative allows resources to be channeled to support social causes, strengthening citizen commitment to the environment and helping vulnerable populations.
Within this framework, the Municipality of Lince will implement a collection point so that neighbors, institutions and organizations in the district can join this campaign by delivering clean and unused plastic lids.
Minam recalled that its institutional headquarters also functions as a permanent collection point, allowing more citizens to actively participate in this initiative that unites recycling with solidarity.
With the incorporation of the Municipality of Lince, Tapas that transform continues to expand its scope and consolidate itself as a proposal that demonstrates how small daily actions can generate great benefits for the environment and for those who need it most.
