Plataforma Aire Limpio Residuo Cero Madrid
Madrid, Spain
Plataforma Aire Limpio Residuo Cero Madrid is composed of a wide range of civil society organisations, from environmental NGOs to trade unions and neighbourhood associations, that work for the protection of the environment in the Community of Madrid in general and in the southeast region in particular.
Over the years since 2000, this network has been a focal point of resistance to environmental damage in the area against the creation of hazardous waste projects, harmful waste facilities and plans primarily in the Southeastern region of Madrid. An alternative to the current waste treatment, a Zero Waste policy, is promoted across all municipalities of the City of Madrid. The organisation focuses on stopping new incinerators and landfills projects in Madrid. Three of four landfills in Madrid have already been shut down.
