It is a fact that the REP Law (Extended Producer Responsibility) represents a true advance in sustainable management and the generation of a smaller environmental footprint for the country. This is a regulation that makes the circular economy viable, which seeks for companies to manage their waste, transforming it into new resources.
And although the implementation of this law establishes a legal and regulatory framework that expands the responsibility of managing priority waste through recovery processes, there is still a long way to go.
In this context, at Hidronor we evolve in line with global needs, contributing, in turn, to the country's circular economy in all productive areas, which makes us a key player in the industry. We are doing this work together with our subsidiary Greendot, specialized in providing recycling services to large companies, valorizing the waste that is disposed of in municipal landfills, being mainly plastics and cardboard, with which we respond to the objectives pursued by the REP Law.
