June 2022 marked an important milestone in the environmental history of Chile, as the Framework Law on Climate Change came into force to strengthen the fight against climate change seeking to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

This macro objective, in addition to meaning hard work for the public sector, will also impose great challenges for the different private industries in the country, since it will imply changing the way in which we transport ourselves, feed ourselves, dress ourselves, and produce energy.

Consequently, the business sector must begin to be governed by the new established policies and define the best strategies that allow it to operate in a sustainable manner to reduce the generation of waste that each one generates and take charge of it, and this is where the help of a specialized partner (such as Hidronor) becomes fundamental, since it will allow carrying out pertinent and certified actions that comply with what is required.

En este contexto, como compañía nos hemos convertido en un socio ambiental estratégico con cobertura a lo largo de todo Chile en materia de gestión y tratamiento de residuos industriales y peligrosos para distintos tipos de industrias, aportando a la mitigación del cambio climático con servicios de energy revaluation, recovery and recycling of waste, remediation, sanitation and recovery of contaminated land; transport, treatment and final disposal of waste, among others that contribute to environmental sustainability.

“Otro de los servicios con los que más aportamos a la industria nacional es con el reemplazo del uso de combustibles fósiles tradicionales por residuos líquidos que presentan una capacidad calorífica alta (los llamados “combustibles líquidos alternativos”). Entre nuestras instalaciones contamos con una planta exclusivamente dedicada a la formulación de un combustible alternativo a partir de residuos líquidos de distintas características, permitiendo así el reemplazo posterior de combustibles tradicionales en distintos procesos productivos de nuestro país”, destaca Gonzalo Velásquez, gerente de Medio Ambiente de Hidronor Chile.

In this way, we contribute to the sustainability of the country and we maintain our commitment to continue delivering cutting-edge solutions and technologies that allow companies to manage their industrial waste safely.
