Each year, regulations in Chile (as in many other countries) establish greater sustainable responsibilities towards companies in order for them to take charge of the hazardous or non-hazardous waste they generate, aiming to encourage caring for the environment and the implementation of greener practices.

Concerning the products that are damaged or have expired, such as cosmetics, clothing or medicine, the law requires that they be disposed of, rendered useless and destroyed correctly, and for this (in case of not having the service on site) the task must be outsourced to certified companies, such as Hidronor, for the management of non-standard products.

This service consists in the programmed withdrawal of expired or damaged products that are transferred to a treatment and final disposal center, specialized in safely sealed trucks in accordance with current regulations. Next and according to the characteristics of the product, the company makes the most appropriate selection of the brand disabling and destruction process, providing greater security in the elimination of these and thus avoiding a negative impact on the ecosystem.

In addition to the environmental benefit when executing this action, it is worth mentioning that this activity generates a great benefit for companies since Hidronor issues a notarial deed as a certificate thereof after the service, which allows a reduction in product taxes not marketed against IBS.
