CONTRIBUTION TO THE SCRAP IN RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING MANAGEMENT
Valquer Laboratorios stands out as one of the dermocosmetic laboratories with the highest number of quality certifications at both national and international levels in Europe. Our journey in quality began in 2002 with the achievement of the ISO 9001 Quality Management certification. This accreditation highlights our ability to consistently deliver health and beauty products that meet the highest industry standards.
In 2010, we obtained the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems certification, establishing ourselves as leaders in sustainable cosmetics and active promoters of environmental protection and pollution prevention. We continued to expand our quality standards with the ISO 22716 certification in 2011, which validates our compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices in accordance with Regulation 1223/2009.
Likewise, in the first period of 2025, we achieved the EcoVadis Bronze Medal with a score of 67/100, reflecting the strong quality of Valquer Laboratorios’ sustainability management system.
In addition, Valquer Laboratorios actively collaborates with ECOEMBES in the responsible management of packaging. In 2024, our contribution to the SCRAP (Collective System of Extended Producer Responsibility) helped avoid the emission of 118.92 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, save 829.59 MWh of energy, and preserve 1,100 m³ of water, according to the 2024 Environmental Footprint Certificate issued by ECOEMBES. These results reflect our firm commitment to the circular economy and the reduction of the environmental impact of our production processes.
In 2026, we obtained the IFS PROGRESS HPC certification at intermediate level with a score of 96.43%, a recognition that supports our high standards in the production of cosmetic and personal care products. That same year, we obtained the SEDEX (SMETA) certification following an audit successfully passed in 2025, as an active member (ID: ZC423232710), with certification valid until April 2027.
This guarantees that our natural dermocosmetic products meet the highest levels of management, planning, organization, control, and safety.
At Valquer, our focus is not only on developing vegan and sustainable cosmetics but also on minimizing environmental impact at every step of our production process. Some of our environmental initiatives include:
- Green Energy: We use photovoltaic panels to produce up to 80% of our dermocosmetic products with green energy.
- Effluent Treatment: We have a specialized plant for treating industrial liquids, ensuring that the water discharged into the public sewage system is clean and safe.
- Sustainable Mobility: We incorporate electric vehicles with multiple charging points to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Recycling and Waste Reduction: We implement continuous recycling of paper, plastic, and cardboard in collaboration with authorized companies, and strive to develop zero-waste cosmetics, reducing or eliminating the use of plastics.
Our commitment to innovation in dermopharmacy and cosmetics drives us to continuously develop health and beauty products that not only meet the most rigorous quality standards but also promote sustainability and environmental care. We invest in R&D to launch innovative and natural dermocosmetic products, aligned with the needs of our clients and the planet.
