Campaigns of love and connection with the environment.

A cover for life campaign
The Funicancer Foundation collects all kinds of plastic caps with the aim of raising funds to meet the economic needs that arise during the oncological treatment of minors.
Pilas con el ambiente
Pilas con el Ambiente gives appropriate management to the delivered batteries and accumulators, according to the regulations for the handling of these waste materials.
Quimetales is responsible for the integral management of hazardous and special waste, and also contributes to the sustainable development of the country through the implementation and management of good environmental practices.
Styrofoam collection
To contribute to the environment, the company disposes of expanded polystyrene (EPS) with environmentally committed companies that use this material for the construction of sustainable and long-lasting spaces.
Pest control
Through the company Metrofumigaciones, pest control is carried out semi-annually, and at the same time, this activity is reinforced by promoting clean and healthy spaces.
