I´VE BEEN A PPE
Infotec Brasil
ABOUT IT
The main objective of the project is to avoid carbon emissions and to enable the generation of income by recycling the FR (Fire Resistant) uniforms used by employees in Oil and Gas operations. Due to their properties and composition, the uniforms had to be incinerated when demobilized
With the project, the uniforms were then donated to Civil Society Organizations, which dismantle them and use them to make bags, backpacks, pencil holders, boarding bags and similar items. The pieces produced are then bought back by Infotec Brasil and used in internal marketing actions and as gifts in its gamification channel.
The project is still being executed
Results and Objectives
Since the start of the project, 400 uniforms have already been recycled, avoiding the release of 5.9 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. With these uniforms, 378 items were produced by a CSO
The project's goal is to reach the figure of 1000 recycled uniforms, with the involvement and generation of jobs for 3 Civil Society Organizations, avoiding the emission of the equivalent of 14.7 tons of CO2e
