ABOUT IT
Tetra Pak has partnered with Ponta Grossa's Environment Department to make it possible to send organic waste from its factory to the city's thermoelectric plant. The plant, which opened in 2021, transforms organic waste (collected by a 100% electric truck) into biogas - which powers electricity generators.
With the project, Tetra Park contributes to the diversification of energy sources by using inputs to generate biofuel.
Results and Objectives
Tetra Pak's plant generates around 5.29 tons of organic waste per monthwhich results in 1440 kWh/month of electricity. The energy generated is used in public buildings such as schools, hospitals, UPAs and town halls.
