The Restaurant Merit Award for Commitment to Sustainability and a Green Mexico was awarded to the restaurant group The Spinning Tops by the CANIRAC and was presented by the Mexican Coca-Cola Industry. We celebrate their efforts and commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness.
Since 2012, Los Trompos joined ReQpet, the permanent PET collection program of Bepensa Foundation, and subsequently to the Bepensa initiative as part of the Mexican Coca-Cola Industry, #WorldWithoutWaste, through the installation of infrastructure and communication elements in its branches for PET collection, with the aim of strengthening and promoting a culture of environmental care. In this context, the restaurant group was one of Bepensa's first clients and partners to join the "My Business Without Waste" project, which the company launched to promote PET container recycling and strengthen the business environment in the sector, while also contributing to local economic growth.
Los Trompos, an example of commitment to sustainability
Thanks to its commitment to the environment, Los Trompos has collected more than 15 tons of PET, equivalent to several tens of thousands of bottles. These bottles have been recovered through ReQpet, the Bepensa Foundation's ongoing PET collection program, and sent to PetStar, the world's largest food-grade PET recycling plant, of which Bepensa is a shareholder. This has given them the opportunity to have another life in a sustainable, socially valuable circular economy model.
Within this initiative, Los Trompos is a success story not only because of the recent award it received, but also, and above all, because it has promoted PET recycling in each of its branches. This has been added to more actions of its social responsibility program "Red Los Trompos", which are based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations Organization.
It is a great pleasure for Bepensa, as part of the Mexican Coca-Cola Industry, to recognize and applaud the Los Trompos group for its outstanding commitment to sustainability and performance within the "My Business Without Waste" program. Through their participation, they have become a beacon of inspiration for other businesses in the restaurant industry, demonstrating that sustainability and business success are not mutually exclusive, but must coexist in harmony.
This success story not only demonstrates the transformative power of business collaboration, but also highlights how sustainability can be a fundamental pillar of business strategy.
The importance of the circular economy
Bepensa's #WorldWithoutWaste initiative has been carried out through various projects, such as "My Waste-Free Store," which has been active since 2021 and also promotes PET recycling and seeks to turn small shops into true PET collection centers.
Through these programs, the Bepensa Group reaffirms its commitment to environmental stewardship by supporting various sectors with the tools and knowledge necessary to reduce their waste footprint and promote sustainable practices throughout the value chain.
