Legacy of beauty & responsibility

With a shared goal to promote environmental awareness and start a legacy of beauty and responsibility, Ever Bilena and its partners recently launched a zero-waste management campaign called “Responsibility beyond beauty.”

Unveiled during the event was the iECO-800, a smokeless, odorless, multi-layer pyrolysis incinerator that burns almost all kinds of solid waste.
