• The agreement seeks to implement a comprehensive plan for waste management that includes software, equipment, personnel, transportation, legal traceability and training, all with the objective of promoting reuse, recycling or composting of waste.

In line with its sustainability strategy, which involves the company’s commitment to environmental care, innovation and circular economy, Blumar signed an agreement with EcoLógica that seeks to ensure proper treatment of waste generated in Blumar Salmon culture centers based on three objectives: recoverability, traceability and seeking circular economy alternatives for its waste

The start of work coincides with International Recycling Day and the agreement includes the development of a work plan that considers: software, equipment, personnel, transportation, legal traceability and training, where the contracted company must ensure the preparation and classification of each element so that it is removed and delivered directly to final recipients or transfer stations for reuse, recycling or composting.

“We are looking for a strategic supplier that helps us in this transition to a circular economy, since it is very important for us to continue advancing in environmental care and in the correct disposal of our waste.  This agreement allows us to increase our circularity performance and significantly reduce waste sent to landfills.”, commented Blumar’s Sub Manager of Purchasing and Supply, Nelson Pérez.

With EcoLógica’s software, Blumar will obtain recoverability indicators and reports that will allow decisions to be made to improve environmental management and purchasing management of supplies, because there will be greater clarity regarding which materials can be revalued and which cannot.

.EcoLógica’s Commercial Manager, Diego Schneuer, commented that “with our arrival in the area, we seek to expand coverage and support companies that today need waste management to advance their sustainability goals. An efficient and innovative administration, with adequate traceability, makes it possible to generate a real contribution in the advancement to convert Chile into a true circular economy”.

In this way and within the framework of the Blumar Circular project, the company seeks to reduce waste shipments to landfills to achieve optimal work in waste and recycling, in addition to continuing with the commitment it maintains with sustainability and circular economy.
