Environmental Management
Green Screens
For ABC GOTUPLAS S.A.S, caring for the environment is an essential component in the strategies to minimize and prevent the environmental aspects and impacts generated in the production processes and other activities carried out within the Company, for this reason it decides to implement measures associated with protecting and take care of the environment:
We are part of an eco-bricks project to diminish reusable plastic pollution.
We joined the campaign “Tapas amigas, niños felices, planeta limpio” of the Sol de los Andes foundation by donating plastic caps.
ABC GOTUPLAS S.A.S features a zero-dumping policy thanks to its re-circulation and residual water treatment processes:
- We have an evapo-transpiration system that reuses industrial residual water generated by the photo-mechanic area with no dumping: green walls where in the medium in combination with efficient micro-organisms degrading biological and polluting materials get incorporated to the topsoil that supports the plants.
- We have a storage and reuse network of rainwater in order to reduce our tap water consumption for some internal processes.
- Furthermore, we are working in the implementation of an enviromental project on which hydro-carbonated water generated by the compressors is separated in order to remove grease molecules from it to be reused.
Thanks to the adoption of the control measures and enviromental projects we can proudly say that we are a company certified by the Environmental District Department for its environmental programme PREAD EN MARCHA HACIA LA EXELENCIA AMBIENTAL, such recognition was gained by ABC GOTUPLAS S.A.S for high level of environmental commitment shown by improving processes and activities that generate environmental impact.
