Resumen
In the framework of law 373, 1997, INVATAM Ltda developed and implemented the Program
for the Efficient and Rational Use of Water (PUEYRA, acronym in Spanish), aiming to reduce
water consumption in a 4% per year. With the diagnose of cleaner production made under
an agreement with the Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá, the processes of unhairing
and tanning were identified as those that bring a higher environmental impact, because they
demand a high water consumption and produce a big contamination in the Medellín river. The
water consumption for both processes is 55% of the whole consumption of the company and
waste water from the unhairing process is a 70% of the contaminant load the organization
produces. By implementing PUEYRA some technological changes were made, best operative
practices were assumed, training activities were organized and a number of measurements
for the rational use of water were implemented. This allowed significant savings and also
contributed to lower the environmental impact of the unhairing and tanning processes.
