Trédi Argentina has consolidated for more than 20 years as a reference in the management and treatment of PCB contaminated waste (polychlorinated biphenyls).Trédi International, a subsidiary of the Séché Group, has earned worldwide recognition of large industries, governments and international institutions (UN, UNDP, FAO, UNIDO, World Bank) in the management and treatment of highly hazardous waste.
We provide global solutions, ranging from decontamination of transformers and PCB contaminated oils, to destruction by incineration at the Trédi St. Vulbas plant in France.
Séché Environnement drives its growth on a solid foundation: sustainability as a strategic pillar. In recent years, the Group has consolidated its international expansion, strengthening its presence in Latin America and extending its operations to new regions such as Southern Africa and Italy. This development not only broadens its reach but also reinforces its position in key markets for the transition toward more sustainable models. International expansion represents an opportunity to share knowledge and best practices across its subsidiaries, while integrating the expectations of all stakeholders: employees, clients, communities, and strategic partners. Along this path, Séché Environnement fosters partnerships with scientific organizations, institutions, and local stakeholders, aiming to generate a positive impact on biodiversity and improve the quality of life in the communities where it operates. In addition, the Group reaffirms its commitment to global initiatives such as Act4nature, promoting concrete actions to preserve the natural environment and support responsible development. Through an integrated vision, Séché Environnement continues to build a growth model that combines innovation, performance, and long-term environmental commitment.
In Trédi Argentina, we put together the following glossary with key concepts about the Integral Management of Polychlorinated Biphenyls. An explanation of the different parts that are usually followed in the work we do together with our clients.
Fabien Martinez, Logistics Manager of the International Team of Séché Group gives us an interesting interview about the different challenges we face in the maritime transport of hazardous waste.
Knowing the PCB content in the oil of a transformer is fundamental to make an inventory of the electrical equipment, according to the regulations established by each environmental authority. But it is also essential for choosing the type of treatment to be carried out.
At Trédi Argentina we strictly comply with the national and international regulations related to the integral management of PCBs. Dr. Juan Carlos Federico Parmigiani tells us about the different laws and regulations that govern the integral management of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Argentina.
In Trédi Argentina we observe that a recurrent consultation is presented: in fact, are the Complex Wastes sent to be destroyed abroad, or are they thrown in the middle of the sea? In the following article Dr. Leila Devia, offers us her knowledge to break one of the diverse "myths" about the export of the complex residues.
In Trédi Argentina we believe that it is very important to inform about the impact and the dangerousness of the Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) in human health.
Our colleagues in the Séché Group Peru subsidiary carry out the treatment of hospital waste, in their thermal treatment plant in Villa El Salvador, Lima
At Trédi Argentina, we specialize in the integrated management of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), in strict compliance with environmental regulations and the standards of the Séché Environnement Group. But what are Polychlorinated Biphenyls or PCB? What is the impact on health and the environment?
Act4Nature International is an initiative that aims to mobilize leaders from all economic sectors to treat biodiversity as an issue that is equally important as climate change. Séché Environnement is proud to be one of the first eleven French companies to join the alliance, confirming its support for the initiative.
In the context of the pandemic that affects the world in this last year, in Trédi Argentina the protocols of security and hygiene have been reinforced. Considering the well-being of our employees, several measures have been taken to avoid any possible propagation of the virus COVID-19.
After successfully performing the dechlorination treatment of dielectric mineral oils with PCB content under the 2016-2017 Pilot Project sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment in Colombia, Trédi Argentina and Ocade SAS decided to continue their collaborative project.
On January 3, and complying with its Environmental Liability Mitigation Plan, a process of transfer of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) contaminated waste for its subsequent export and disposal, was carried out at the Laurelty Complex in San Lorenzo.
Trédi Argentina participated in the Seminar "Dissemination of experience with dechlorination technology for the treatment of oils and decontamination of transformers with PCB contents" in Bogotá-Colombia.
After 18 months of work, the Project “Environmentally Sound Management and Disposal of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Peru” was completed.
Within the framework of the Project, a total of 263 PCB contaminated transformers (156 tons) belonging to 17 companies was managed in Peru.
The main objective of the Workshop was the exchange of information on PCB management through a life cycle management approach, from inventories to environmental management (MEDE) of PCBs, in accordance with The Stockholm Convention on Persistent organic pollutants. The event was structured in three main themes.
The purpose of the PILOT PROJECT is to “Implement and start a pilot or semi-industrial scale PCB treatment project by means of dechlorination processes, catalytic oxidation or other physical-chemical treatment.
Within the framework of the National Program of the Ministry of Environment of Morocco, UNDP, UNIDO and GEF, TREDI SA, a subsidiary of the Séché Group, installed a treatment and rehabilitation platform for PCB contaminated transformers and oil.
The Regional Workshop to Share Experiences on the Management of PCBs and Chemical Substances in Central and South America was held in Cali Colombia and is part of the project “Capacity Development for Environmentally Sound Management and Disposal of PCBs” that Colombia organizes , in coordination with the UNDP Regional Office in Panama.
The Ministry of Environment of Ecuador, through the GEF - UNDP partnership initiative, advances in its process of government support for the implementation of the Project "Integrated and Environmentally Sound Management of PBCs in Ecuador".
