Human Rights Day

🌍 Human rights are the foundation of every sustainable and responsible society.

On Human Rights Day, we are reminded that dignity, equality and fairness are not abstract principles, they are essential commitments that guide how we work, collaborate and build the future.

In the engineering and infrastructure sectors, respecting human rights means:
• Ensuring safe and fair working conditions
• Promoting inclusion and equal opportunities
• Protecting the environment and local communities
• Acting with transparency, responsibility and integrity

At Globaltec, we believe that every project must contribute positively to people’s lives. Our commitment to ethical practices and sustainable development is part of who we are and how we operate, today and every day.

🤝 Building progress only makes sense when no one is left behind.

Globaltec Desarrollos e Ingeniería has won a contract to carry out the Engineering Studies for the Rehabilitation of 1500 ha in Angola.

📣  We are pleased to announce that Globaltec Desarrollos e Ingeniería, in partnership with Hispatec, OTK, and Civile, has been awarded the contract to conduct engineering studies to rehabilitate 1,500 ha/province of irrigation systems in Huíla and Cuanza Sul, under the Commercial Agriculture Development Project (PDAC) for Angola’s Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

The project, funded by the World Bank and the French Development Agency, is aligned with Angola’s strategy to diversify its economy. The rehabilitation of irrigation systems in these provinces is an essential part of the PDAC, which aims to boost agricultural production and promote commercial development in the country. The initiative also includes significant environmental and social components to ensure sustainable and responsible development.

The project, which is scheduled to begin in October and will last 12 months, represents a challenge and a responsibility that we assume with total commitment and dedication.

Solid waste management in Africa

Globaltec ingenieria, Solid waste

Africa’s rapid population growth, increased economic activity and ever-expanding urbanization have led to an unprecedented increase in urban waste on the continent. 🇻🇺
It is estimated that by 2050, the volume of waste will triple from 174 Mtons per year in 2016 to approximately 516 Ms per year across the African continent. In addition, the average waste collection rate in Africa is approximately 55% of all waste materials. In particular, more than 90 per cent of Africa’s waste is disposed of in uncontrolled landfills, which spontaneously burn. 🚛

Recycling activity across the African continent is characterized by poverty, unemployment and socio-economic needs without support from the public and private sectors. Despite this, informal waste pickers actively recover valuable resources from waste with minimal compensation from municipalities and private sector companies. ♻️

In particular, the main causes of inadequate waste disposal and management in Africa are weak strategic, institutional and organizational structures. This is because they have inadequate budgets; weak legislation and lack of implementation needed for waste management. Added to this is low public awareness and conflicts that lead to instability.

Despite these difficulties, several African countries are progressively adopting more sustainable modes of waste disposal and management technologies by taking advantage of emerging waste recycling technologies. For example, Ethiopia has transformed the Koshe landfill in Addis Ababa into a waste-energy plant. This means reusing 1,400 tonnes of waste per day to generate electricity. ♻️

Kenya is also leveraging emerging technologies to improve waste management and disposal approaches. The collection, sorting, composting, recycling of plastic and purchasing of waste from waste material collectors is currently being actively managed.

At GLOBALTEC we offer the execution of projects that use waste treatment technologies that can find applications in Africa. Among others would be those mechanical-biological treatment methods, which, supported by pre-treatment sorting techniques and emission selection and quality control techniques, can be adapted in African waste material treatment systems.
