By San José, Costa Rica — Porsche Costa Rica has proudly received a Silver Distinction for waste management from Metalub, marking a significant milestone in the dealership’s commitment to environmental sustainability. This achievement aligns with Porsche AG’s global objectives and underscores Porsche Costa Rica’s dedication to ecological responsibility.
After an extensive audit by Metalub, a leader in environmental management, Porsche Costa Rica’s waste management practices were thoroughly evaluated. The certification assesses the dealership’s treatment and disposal of used oils, contaminated solids, and other hazardous materials. This recognition is the first of its kind for Porsche Costa Rica, highlighting its effective strategies in sustainable waste handling.
The collaboration between Porsche Costa Rica and Metalub has been instrumental in achieving this distinction. Metalub ensures that waste collected from the dealership supports a circular economy by re-refining used oils. This process recovers up to 85% of the base oil, significantly reducing waste and contributing to approximately 10 kg of CO₂ savings per gallon of reused oil.
This certification represents a crucial step in our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability. It is just the beginning of our efforts to meet Porsche’s ambitious global environmental goals
