Abstract

Introduction. Laproff Laboratories is a company founded in the Antioquia province, in 1959. Its mission is contributing to the health of the community through producing generic medicines. The labs are certified under the ISO 9001 and BPM quality systems. Methodology. An evaluation within the cleaner production program of the company was made and a number of projects were defined, among which we have solid waste management. This project aims to identify measure, valuate, prevent, correct and make good use of the disposal of that waste with the procedures and methods defined by the Aburrá Valley Metropolitan Area. The construction of the environmental indicators allows us to show how Laproff has contributed to lower the quantity of waste to be sent to the sanitary filling, accomplishing one of the goals agreed in the program. Results. A transformation was generated within the enterprise, with impacts such as change of technology, a quality increase of the production processes, new recycling programs, new education initiatives and new business ideas departing from research and development. Conclusion. Adopting the cleaner production program in Laproff Laboratories brought good results beyond the inner work of the enterprise, thus producing benefits to the community in general, the pharmaceutical sector and the country.
