TREATMENT OF INERT WASTE
THE VALORIZATION OF WASTE IS PART OF OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT
TREATMENT OF INERT WASTE
Following the sustainable growth and expansion of the quarry at Herrera de Camargo, Candesa Group was left with a large area to reinstate it with its original and natural features, filling the space with inert waste. The company has all the necessary licenses and adheres to the legal requirements needed for this type of activity. The site, near to the Bay of Santander makes it an ideal location for this method of treatment and the depositing of inert waste that is generated within this environment.

With the ongoing transformation of modern society and our sense of duty to the environment it is even more important that ‘regulated areas’ are used to deposit inert waste which society creates on a daily basis. This specifically, over time makes society more aware and informed of this type of waste. Owing to our extractive activity in the quarry, Candesa Group has made this area readily available to society, particularly for the growing local population. Candesa Group will be able to hold nearly 6 million cubic metres of inert waste and also (CDR’s) construction and demolition residues.
