Zero Landfill

After identifying waste generation as one of the key environmental aspects of our operations, we started this project to achieve the goal of having the 5 units of Martin Brower Brasil labeled as “Aterro Zero” (Zero Landfill), using the most appropriate destination methods with duly licensed companies. An assessment was made on the main residues generated at the unit and on the companies that were responsible for their final destination.  

As of 2019, partnerships were sought with new suppliers, at a local and national level, in an attempt to obtain more environmentally appropriate destinations, such as Pig farming, Co-processing and Recycling. 

Training programs were offered to the cleaning staff on the correct separation of waste and where each material should be discarded. The internal waste processing routines, particularly thermal insulation and conveyor pads were also revised in order to adapt to the new final destination methods. 

The goal of the project is to have at least 95% of our waste produced in Brazil landfill-free by 2025. 

 The project is still being executed 

The project has external certification – “Lixo Zero” (Zero Waste) Certification
