Mercury-Free Production certification aims to verify that industrial processes, products, or facilities operate without the intentional use of mercury or its compounds, in line with the commitments established by the Minamata Convention and other national and international regulations related to the protection of human health and the environment.
This certification process thoroughly evaluates the traceability of inputs and raw materials, the absence of mercury in production processes, proper waste management, and compliance with monitoring and control protocols. It also considers staff training, technical records, and supplier declarations supporting mercury-free status across the entire value chain.
Obtaining this certification enables organizations to demonstrate their commitment to responsible and sustainable production, while facilitating access to markets that require stringent environmental standards. It also builds confidence among consumers, authorities, and business partners by ensuring that certified products and processes do not generate impacts associated with the use of this highly toxic substance.
