Como es bien sabido Chile es el país mejor posicionado en la región por la promoción de políticas públicas que permitan revertir los graves efectos del cambio climático, haciendo especial énfasis en el establecimiento de normativas asociadas al incremento de la circular economy, como es el caso de la Ley de Responsabilidad Extendida del Productor (REP Law), la Hoja de Ruta para un Chile Circular al 2040, los Acuerdos de Producción Limpia (APL), entre otras.
With respect to this last point, it is worth noting that the APLs -agreements developed between a business sector, private companies and public organizations associated with it- make it possible to encourage clean production through specific goals and actions that are related to environmental issues, hygiene and occupational safety, energy efficiency, efficiency in the use of water, among others, seeking to generate synergy and economies of scale in the achievement of the agreed objectives, as well as increase productive efficiency and improve competitiveness, with what is contributes greatly to the increase of the circular economy.
To date, APLs have played a fundamental role in controlling the generation of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and industrial waste in Chile, achieving a reduction of 1.6 million tons of CO2 during the last 10 years, a figure that is not less than demonstrates the great contribution of these to mitigate the effects of global warming.
At Hidronor we support the creation of this public-private cooperation system by contributing with our associated services to the remediation and recovery of contaminated land; analysis and characterization of residues; transport, treatment and final disposal of waste, among others.
Together it is possible to build a more sustainable country for everyone!
