As is well known, toxic waste is responsible for causing multiple damages to health and pollution of the environment (water, air, soil, flora and fauna).

En el rubro industrial, estos residuos provienen en mayor cantidad de actividades como la minería, construcción, producción en línea, entre otras actividades que, por ley en nuestro país (DS 148), requieren tratamientos in situ o contratación de empresas externas dedicadas a su gestión para aminorar el impacto y toxicidad y depositarlos o eliminarlos de forma segura.

When these wastes are produced and are not controlled in time, they are capable of altering the physical and chemical properties of the soil, giving off polluting gases that are then breathed in by animals and humans, polluting the water by the dragging of wastes that are finally deposited. in lakes and oceans, among other negative consequences.

The good news is that today there are multiple mechanisms, studies and treatments that companies can implement to reduce the environmental impact they cause. For this, there are two recommended alternatives: creating and equipping an internal waste management department with the highest standards in technology and knowledge (more expensive option) or, hiring external companies that have the know-how, experiencia, personal y herramientas técnicas especializadas para realizar estos procesos.

Cumpliendo con este objetivo, Hidronor cuenta con más de 25 años de experiencia en el transport, treatment and final disposal of waste, valorización, recuperación y reciclaje de residuos en Chile, y está posicionada como la principal compañía en el país dedicada a tratar residuos peligrosos (RESPEL) de forma externa o In Situ.
