To recognise its commitment to the circular economy, the Sorigué group company Vialex was awarded the “Aragon circular” seal. This honorary seal certifies the construction firm’s work to recover and reuse resources, and lower harmful gas emissions. Valid for two years, this seal is used as an award criterion for the tendering of contracts and subsidiaries.

One hundred companies from a variety of industries submitted under this first call, of which 72 were eligible for being awarded the seal from the Aragon government’s Department of Planning and Economic Development.  

Complete Waste Management

Vialex stands out specifically for its management and recovery of construction and demolition waste, such as recycled aggregates which are fed back into the production chain. This lowers the amount of waste ending up in landfills, actively helping towards a lower environmental footprint. Also noteworthy is the fact that in 2021 the company began compiling the statistics needed to officially record its 2017, 2018 and 2019 carbon footprint.

Furthermore, it has its sights set on the “Calculo y reduzco” seal for its 2020 business coming from manufacturing asphalt at the plants located in Villanueva de Gállego, Sabiñánigo and Garrapinillos. These statistics, which need to be submitted to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, are used to objectively measure the efforts of industry to lower and offset greenhouse gas emissions.

Vialex’s overall sustainability strategy also includes replacing fluorescent bulbs with LEDs at its Zaragoza offices, and enhancing piping at its asphalt plants in Garrapinillos and Villanueva de Gállego and its concrete plant in Zuera to stop heat loss and boost energy efficiency.
