The Formentera Council's environment bureau reports the administration has tapped Geprocon to execute the €9,900-plus-tax “core project” in the run-up to creation of a treatment plant for construction and demolition materials.

The contract covers not only preparation of administrative permit requests but also help during tender of the project. The deadline to submit draft proposals for the “core project” has been set at two months. The plant's creation is laid down in Formentera's “sectorial waste directive”, which obtained preliminary approval July 27.

Environment secretary Daisee Aguilera said the new facilities could turn building scraps into aggregate to be cycled back into construction, as filler for foundations, for instance, or for road improvements.
