• WHAT IS HAWA

    HAWA was born from a deep understanding of the environmental impact generated by the activities of the productive sector in its various forms. Based on the conviction that it is possible to generate sustainable forms of production that help manage the availability and conservation of resources, we created HAWA, a space for analysis, planning, and support for companies and organizations committed to more responsible production, mindful of the meaning of the words "maintain," "conserve," and "preserve" when referring to key aspects of the environmental issue, including biological diversity.

    Comprehensive waste management

    Urban solid waste (MSW) management encompasses a set of actions carried out from the moment the waste is generated until its treatment is completed. Its objective is to reduce the amount of waste sent to final disposal, in order to improve the population's quality of life, preserve human health, the environment, and conserve natural resources. Our MSW management proposal applies a hierarchical framework to waste management, which guides the order of priority for handling and involves collection, transportation, treatment, recycling, and disposal.

    We assist companies in environmental risk assessments, considering factors that pose threats (present or future) to the environment, analyzing conditions that increase the vulnerability of ecosystems and jeopardize the availability and conservation of resources. Our services also include the creation of environmental management systems and plans focused on minimizing the impact of each sector's production models and strengthening corporate environmental policy.

    Huella de carbono: La salud en contra de la salud

    Ciertamente, asociar al sector salud o a los sistemas de salud con el cambio climático, no parecería tener mucho sentido. Sin embargo, así como sucede con la mayoría de las actividades humanas, las vinculadas con la salud también producen un impacto negativo en el ambiente.

    Overview of greenhouse gases

    Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. This section provides information on the emissions and removal methods of the main greenhouse gases into and from the atmosphere.

    Conclusions of the work carried out on an organic olive farm that produces olive oil

    During 2024 and part of 2025, in the Cuyo region of Hawa, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the carbon footprint of a farm, from the production of olives to their conversion into packaged extra virgin olive oil.

    Power Factor and Carbon Footprint

    Pursuant to the new ENRE Resolution 85/2024, installations must be adapted to avoid fines and ensure that the Power Factor is optimized, thus avoiding surcharges and penalties of up to 20% on the electricity bill. This correction is achieved by installing capacitors that reduce reactive power consumption, lowering current and losses.
