Con el objetivo de avanzar hacia la consolidación como un país más sustentable, disminuyendo la generación de residuos y dándole a los generados una segunda o más vidas útiles, las iniciativas de circular economy toman cada día más auge en nuestro país. Para esto, hoy la tendencia habla de 7Rs, que invitan a toda la sociedad en conjunto, tanto individual como empresarial, a sumarse a estas iniciativas que van más allá del reciclaje.

The 7Rs of a circular economy are: Rethink (by changing the economic paradigm), Redesign (by considering environmental impacts during the product’s life cycle), Reduce (by decreasing the amount of goods we consume), Repair (by fixing instead of throwing away), Recycle (by turning waste into new products), Reuse (by upcycling products) and Renew (by restoring worn-out products or components).

This trend, in addition to the regulations imposed by the Ministry of the Environment, promise to generate new projects in the country that will undoubtedly accelerate the activation of the national economy, since it is expected that more companies will join each day, with initiatives related to these 7 pillars of the circular economy, especially facing the new demands imposed by climate change. This will allow different social actors to find new entrepreneurial opportunities as part of a sustainable country model.

To support this cause, at Hidronor, we contribute with our services that include energy revaluation, recovery and recycling of waste, remediation and restoration of contaminated land,  producción de combustibles alternativos con poder calorífico, entre otros, los que van en sintonía con el cumplimiento de las metas establecidas en la Hoja de Ruta para un Chile circular al 2040 y la REP Law.

Let's build a more sustainable country together. Let's contribute to the 7Rs!
