Better book disposal in Madrid
Logista Parcel and Nacex delivered more than 200,000 books for the Madrid Book Fair held in the Retiro Park. Logista Libros was one of the three distribution companies selected for the removal of unsold material and miscellaneous items at the end of the event.
Until now, each of the exhibitors had to access the interior of the park with cars or private means, with the ensuing environmental impact. The amount of free time has not stopped growing in recent years and has resulted in a 6.5% increase in reading books for leisure in the last decade.
At the fair, the participation mark reached a peak with a total of 378 booths and 423 exhibitors from 27 May 27 to 12 June 2022. In Spain, the percentage of people who bought books increased from 51.7% in 2020 to 52.3% in 2021. The Logista Parcel network is present in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. (sh)
