🌊 Dive into the realm of responsible resource management with the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB)! 🔄 They're on a mission to recycle and reuse resources efficiently. Join us on an eye-opening journey as we explore two key locations—the EDAR del Prat de Llobregat water treatment plant and Ecopark 3 Sant Adrià de Besòs. Every day, they treat and reuse a staggering 420 million liters of water used in various processes. Waste is meticulously sorted to recover valuable raw materials, and what can't be recycled is ingeniously transformed into electricity. ♻️ Witness the BMA's incredible journey in developing recycling infrastructure in this enlightening episode of 'Functional Areas in the EU.' Let's celebrate their dedication to sustainability!
