Progress and challenges of Supreme Decree 148 20 years after its promulgation

LinkedIn

A pesar que muchas industrias no respetan las normativas sobre gestión de residuos peligrosos, estas malas prácticas han disminuido considerablemente. 

En junio de 2024 se cumplirán dos décadas del Decreto Supremo 148 del Ministerio de Salud, que estableció las condiciones sanitarias y de seguridad mínimas para la gestión de residuos peligrosos (Respel), es decir, para su “generación, tenencia, almacenamiento, transporte, tratamiento, reúso, reciclaje, disposición final y otras formas de eliminación”.

In this regard, Juan Andrés Salamanca, our commercial manager, states that "currently there is greater awareness on the part of the generating companies about the responsibility that corresponds to them regarding this issue." However, he also believes that the regulations must improve.

Challenges of DS 148

Our executive maintains that the current version of this decree does not contemplate the temporary waste storage delivered as a service, where different generators consolidate loads and are sent to disposal sites, “something very necessary when the generation points are very distant from the disposal areas,” he says.

Salamanca estima que las políticas públicas que se han diseñado últimamente tienden hacia una valorización del residuo como forma de gestión previa antes que la eliminación propiamente tal. “La REP Law ya promulgada promueve esto, por lo que el DS148 debiera actualizarse justamente en los términos que la Ley REP establece”, añade el ejecutivo.

At Hidronor, although we are recognized for giving a sanitary and environmental solution to waste generated by other companies, through the treatment and subsequent final disposal of these, in the same way we have developed innovation projects aimed at the recoverable fraction in line with the policies launched in recent years. 

We continue to contribute to the environmental sustainability of the country!
