In all its processes, Grupo Cárnico Los González has always taken into account the interaction with the environment. Since 1999, the slaughterhouse receives its water supplies from a windmill, which works at 75% of its capacity and extracts 9,000 litres of water per hour. The water extracted by the mill is stored in two deposits, built for this purpose, with a capacity of 3,200,000 litres of water, which supplies the slaughterhouse.

Plant for treatment of solid residues:

In the year 2003, a large amount of money has been invested in this 3,200 sq. m. plant, in order to treat the solid residues generated by the livestock. With this treatment plant, environmental pollution of this type of residue is avoided, as it permits its reuse for fertilizers.

Water treatment plant:

An important part of the annual budgets are allocated to the continuous improvement in the treatment of the waters. All the liquid inflows from the actual activity pass through the water treatment plant. In order to comply with the current legislation, our company water treats the sewage, by adopting integrated means of prevention and control, minimizing in this way the emission of atmospheric pollutants.

The other different categories of residues generated, which are classified by the Administration as type 1, type 2 and type 3, are eliminated by duly authorized, independent companies that are contracted for this purpose.
