The company also contemplates integrating this land into the restoration project of the Pacs del Penedès quarry, once it is inactive
The manufacturer of calcium oxide and hydroxide Cales de Pachs closed this week the purchase of a property adjacent to the company’s facilities in Pacs del Penedès, with an area of 6.1 hectares. The land, which belongs to the municipality of Les Cabanyes, is a rustic property that will allow the company from Penedes to consolidate the conservation project of the factory environment.
Cales de Pachs intends to preserve the essence of the land it has just acquired, where there are currently agricultural fields, olive plantations and wooded areas. This action is part of the goal of Cales de Pachs to achieve total sustainable and respectful integration with everything that surrounds it. A few years ago, the company already took action in this regard, planting more than a thousand pines around the perimeter of the Pacs facilities, which reduce the visual impact of the factory.
Restoration of the Pacs quarry The purchase of this land will also make it possible to integrate the restoration project of the Pacs del Penedès quarry, once it has reached the end of its useful life. All extractive companies have the obligation, by law, to restore the landscape of the quarries from which they extract their raw material.
In the case of Pacs del Penedès, to the ambitious restoration proposal that was already on the table, is now added the possibility of also acting on the 6.1 hectare farm. Within the quarry restoration project, several actions are contemplated, such as the planting of trees to mitigate the visual and auditory impact that the Pacs del Penedès facilities may generate.
