As part of the Madrid Design Festival, we invite you to the presentation of the Beyond The Plastic Wave exhibition. This immersive showcase addresses the issue of plastic waste pollution in our oceans, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea. It is an advocacy exhibition that serves as a catalyst for rethinking plastic use and encourages the manufacturing of products from recycled materials, thereby promoting a circular economy.
As part of the Madrid Design Festival 2023, Andreu World is hosting a meeting with companies from various economic sectors—including consumer goods, construction, and furniture—that leverage creativity to achieve a positive impact in terms of sustainability.
The Dragon Tree of Icod de los Vinos, in Tenerife, is the oldest specimen of Dracaena Drago, which is preserved in the Atlantic archipelago, a tree 16 m high with a 20 m circumference at the base. An endemic species of the Canary Islands, with a slow growth, the dragon tree has a strong symbolism since, in the past, it was considered the protector of the islands, but, at the beginning of the 1980s, the one who needed protection was precisely the dragon tree. Visitors - about 1 million a year - flocked to visit it, and the intense activity that tourism brought around it put its life in danger. It was necessary to stop the visits and find solutions so that the drago tree did not die of success.
