New life for terrace furniture: reuse of resources with social impact 

The Parc Científic de Barcelona has renovated the furniture on the cafeteria terrace and has managed to give a second life to all the old tables and chairs. In total, 31 tables and 93 chairs have been donated to Fundació Formació i Treball for reuse, and the organisation will be able to use them immediately.

This action has made it possible to avoid the generation of around 90 kg of waste, helping to reduce the environmental impact and promoting the circular economy. Giving furniture in good condition a new lease on life is not only a responsible practice, but it also generates social benefits, providing resources to organisations that work for inclusion and training.

With initiatives like this, the PCB has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability, responsible consumption and building a more aware and supportive community.
