As the first business center in Poland, we have officially joined the program Tork PaperCircle – an innovative project that completely recycles paper towels. From 1 May 2022, all towels used in Olivia Centre’s buildings are recycled and turned into new paper products to be used again. Now we have the certificate to prove it!
The scale of this project is impressive – over 7 tonnes of towels used in Olivia Centre were recycled over eight months, from 1 May to 31 December 2022. The waste is regularly collected and processed at the local Essity factory into new paper products. Thanks to the implementation of the program, we have reduced our carbon dioxide emissions by 3,040 kg! This exorbitant amount ofCO2 is equivalent to the amount that about 140 mature trees absorb in a year.
We are happy to implement all innovations that are conducive to environmental protection. Tork PaperCircle is our next eco-friendly project. A sense of responsibility for the environment has always been with us: at the initial design stage, each building is subject to a strict assessment as part of BREEAM certification. All our buildings have received ratings from very good to excellent. In addition to technologically advanced pro-environmental solutions, we also use other, much simpler ones, such as biological protection of our center using the falconry method.
