Entel and Libélula unite for the environment
Libelula joined the program Recycle to Transform from Entel, which seeks to raise awareness and empower organizations and individuals to responsibly dispose of their unused electronic devices such as chargers, cell phones and/or hearing aids. This program seeks to take advantage of the components that can be reused as raw material and responsibly discard those that may be hazardous to the environment.
“Our commitment to generate shared value for society mobilizes us to create sustainable programs that involve our employees, committed organizations and society in general. Therefore, we are very pleased that Libélula has joined this initiative for the environment.”
said Miguel Cassinelli, Entel's institutional relations and sustainability manager.
Likewise, Javier Perla, Libélula's Sustainable Business Manager, commented: «Waste electrical and electronic equipment is the fastest growing waste in the world. It is estimated that in the area of computers and cell phones, more than 90,000 tons have been generated in the country. We are proud to do our bit and be part of this great initiative.".
In addition to Libélula, organizations such as Hipermercados Tottus, Ransa, Nestlé, Ferreycorp, the Municipality of Miraflores and San Ignacio de Loyola University have joined the Recycle to Transform initiative. In 2017, the program managed to recycle more than 7 tons of electronic devices.
