In order to explain how industrial resources are managed in Chile, our Sales Manager, Juan Andrés Salamanca, spoke to Mineria Chilena magazine about the work we do at Hidronor. The executive detailed the services that we offer for the safe management and treatment of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste, such as its revaluation, recovery, recycling, transport, treatment and final disposal.

"To do this, we have certified laboratories where we analyze and characterize these wastes, in order to determine the most appropriate treatment to give in our treatment plants located in the northern, central and southern part of the country", said Juan Andrés.

En esta entrevista también detalló cuáles son las normativas vigentes a la fecha que rigen la industrial waste management, hablando más en profundidad sobre la 2020-2040 Circular Economy National Roadmap and the EPR Lawthat propose goals and actions towards migration to become a more sustainable country.

En cuanto a circular economy, el experto explicó sobre la valorización de residuos con los que trabajamos en Hidronor para aportar a la sustentabilidad del país. “Tenemos más de 15 años siendo una de las empresas líderes en la producción de combustibles alternativos, los que generamos a partir de residuos líquidos con alto poder calorífico. Además, producimos clean energy (which we inject into the national grid) from biogas generated by domestic waste that is sent to our Biobío landfill”, he said.
