The activity was held at the Pit-Cnt headquarters and was attended by Mayor Carolina Cosse; the president of the trade union center, Marcelo Abdala; the Dean of the Udelar Faculty of Engineering, María Simón; and the member of UNTMRA, Danilo Dardano.
The agreement aims to study alternatives for reusing aluminum from the 70,000 lights that are being removed from public roads by the IMM.
Both the Faculty of Engineering and UNTMRA will seek ways to use this aluminum in an environmentally sustainable way.
“The idea, within the framework of the circular economy, is to use the aluminum of the luminaire to give it a utility that has to do with the well-being of the population. When there is a synergy between the State, public procurement, research and the workforce, it is always positive for development and that is how countries manage to generate quality work”, he stated and said he was “very happy” with the agreement. . Abdala highlighted the initiative and said that it is a “very important” agreement that will allow the reuse of lights “with national work, national feed and national technology, in addition to solving a useful problem that makes coexistence in the city and society.”
He also said that it is a “strategic” agreement that involves “development and research and that is committed to quality work.”

For her part, the mayor of Montevideo, Carolina Cosse, said that this agreement is added to a series of agreements that the IMM has with the Pit-Cnt and the University of the Republic. In this case, the objective is to “reuse, not increase the amount of waste and seek national production strategies”, taking the knowledge of the Udelar students in the search for alternatives to reuse that aluminum.
