Its facilities comprise of one logistic center with a total area of 472,054.198 sq ft. In it, finished products are received in parcels/boxes or via hanging garments and are transferred to a warehouse where a quality control is performed to determine the distribution to second line centers, stores and online.

Inditex is committed to achieving zero waste in global operations by the end of 2023. The company’s goal is that waste is properly collected and managed at its corporate headquarters, logistics centers, factories and stores for potential reuse or recycling. Not only does this challenge involve properly sorting the various materials for treatment and subsequent recycling, but also presents an opportunity to rethink their processes so that they avoid generating waste in the first place and instead maximize the use of those resources in their design, logistics, store, and end-of-life operations.

As concrete example of this approach is the Green to Pack program. This program is based on circular economy concepts a sets standard of the quality of its packaging, extending its useful life and recycling it one it has served its purpose.
