LINE OF CONCENTRATED AND BIODEGRADABLE PRODUCTS.

Environmental concerns reinforce Grupo GPS’s commitment to generating sustainable results. Research shows that producing a 500 ml plastic bottle consumes 3 liters of water, and that chemical products are among the main agents of water pollution.

For this reason, Grupo GPS uses only concentrated and biodegradable chemical products. This combination helps conserve water resources, prevents water pollution, and ensures that the products decompose easily in nature. Compare the benefits with those of conventional cleaners:

SELECTIVE COLLECTION

The GPS Group raises awareness and encourages its employees to dispose of waste responsibly. With selective collection, we reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and reduce our environmental impact. Every month, we receive a final disposal certificate and a report on the recycled waste generated.
