The campaign, now in its eighth year, underscores the importance of caring for the environment and health through prevention.

According to the most recent data available, in 2021 Formentera recycled a total of 972.92 tonnes of glass containers – a per-person average of 83.1 kilogrammes. Ecovidrio will transform glass containers deposited in the containers into a donation to the Sandra Ibarra Cancer Foundation. The pink containers are located in the Plaça de la Constitució in Sant Francesc.
