From start to finish

ABOUT IT
The project aims to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill in the municipality of São Lourenço do Oeste - SC. As of 2022, the unit was recycling almost 100% of its waste, including categories that until then had landfill as the only solution, through new partnerships in the recycling chain. With the change, it was possible to reinsert elements such as paper, steel, aluminum and wood into its production chains.
The benefits have also reached the social sphere through the generation of jobs and income, as well as estimated savings of R$570,000 a year, considering the elimination of transportation costs and landfill fees.
With the good results, we have maintained the circularity given to the waste and raised awareness about separating it and reducing losses. This is the story of a project that goes "from start to finish".
