WATER – Treatment and potability of wastewater, ensuring integrity and safety in all processes.
AR – Low emission of contaminants in production, reduction of waste incineration.

LAND—We guarantee the appropriate final disposal of all waste generated and seek sustainable strategies to reduce, reuse, and recycle it within the compliance standards available on the market.
With responsibility, ethics and transparency, MEDQUÍMICA shows, every day, its commitment to sustainability.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
In 2015, 193 member countries of the United Nations adopted a new global policy: the 2030 Agenda, which stipulates 17 targets for the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG); among these commitments, 7 are related to Solid Waste Management.
With the adoption of the Solid Waste Management Plan as one of the principles of sustainable development in its strategy, MEDQUÍMICA recycles approximately 50% of the total waste generated, allowing better use of raw materials and the reduction of environmental aggressions. Translate to English
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS
SELECTIVE COLLECT
CIRCULAR ECONOMY – BLISTERS’ VALUATION
Blister packs are packaging used to package a wide range of our products, such as solid medicines.
The Blister is a packaging made of plastic and aluminum that helps protect and increase the shelf life of the medicine.
Through recycling processes, 100% of the Blisters discarded in our processes are reused and transformed into a noble product. This offers the construction sector a unique product with high added value and contributes to a circular economy.
