On May 15, Hidronor actively participated in Safety Week organized by our client Brenntag, with a talk focused on hazardous waste management. This event allowed us to share key knowledge about safe waste treatment and highlight our commitment to sustainability and the circular economy.

During the talk—led by our Business Executive, Daniela Mancilla, and our Sales Engineer, Tiare Viveros—we addressed key topics such as:

• Waste classification in Chile (more than 18 million tons are generated annually, of which 600,000 tons are hazardous industrial waste (RESPEL).
• The current legislation that regulates its management, including Supreme Decree 148, the REP Law, and the Basel Convention, among others.
• The hazardous characteristics that must be identified: flammability, toxicity, corrosiveness and reactivity.

This activity not only reinforced the importance of responsible waste management, but also provided a valuable opportunity to continue promoting the "from waste to resource" concept, aligning us with our clients' sustainability and regulatory compliance goals.

We thank Brenntag for inviting us to be part of this initiative and for its commitment to safe and efficient environmental management. At Hidronor, we will continue working to transform waste into opportunities, adding value to people, businesses, and the country.
