Environmental performance
CEGADRONE is committed to the sustainable development of the company through the implementation of an Environmental Management System according to ISO 14001: 2015, reporting indicators such as water consumption, energy consumption, paper consumption, waste, etc., and identifying and evaluating the environmental aspects associated with its activity.
Non-hazardous waste, hazardous waste and recycling
As a consequence of the activity carried out by the organization, a series of wastes are generated, both hazardous and non-hazardous, which are managed correctly according to criteria established in the applicable current legislation.
| Consumptions 2019 | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Water | 12 m³ |
| Energy | 8.691 kw/h |
| Paper | 1.640 pages |
| Hazardous waste 2019 | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Batteries | 2 |
| Batteries | 0 |
| Toner | 0 |
| Aerosols | 0 |
The lipo batteries, used during the flight of the UAS, are recycled. These can be taken to a clean point (always wrapped in plastic and adhesive tape as a measure of environmental protection), but CEGADRONE, in its commitment to continuous environmental improvement, is carrying out the corresponding procedures to manage them through a company of recycling.
