But we want to go further than that.
For this reason, in 2023 we started
up our Solar Plant, one of the largest

in Europe. In addition, we are using
the roofs of the production plants
to increase our self-consumption

lWater belongs to everyone. We
don’t waste a drop. In accordancewith our Zero Discharge policy,
we recover water and reuse it inour production processes or in theirrigation of green areas.
In 2023, we inaugurated the
Wastewater Regeneration
Plant (ERAR), which has
allowed us to achieve water
circularity in Cantoria. Witha capacity to regenerate
600,000 m3 of water per year.

We treat and recirculate
more than 80,000 m3 ofwater per day.
This is enough toirrigate 1,500 soccer
fields every day.

Or to supply a cityof 400,000 people.
