Waste management and
responsible waste disposal
The operation of the different sections of the workshop
They generate waste such as:
Residues of
used oils
Filters
Tires
Batteries
Gravel
Pads
absorbents
We also have a system for treating wastewater containing oil, to ensure its proper disposal in the public sewer system.
Additionally, we have special areas designated for the proper disposal of cardboard and metal parts.
Responsible waste disposal
We carry out multiple initiatives to ensure optimal operation. An example of this are the magnets placed on tractors, which are specifically used to guarantee greater safety and eliminate risks in any industrial sector.
They are used in the port terminal to attract unwanted metals, facilitating the work of cleaning debris from the ground, especially sharp materials such as nails or scrap metal.
This type of debris can cause flat tires or endanger the health and physical integrity of workers due to the projections that can occur with any type of metal.
