Project Objectives

• To implement a modern and sustainable industrial unit, in accordance with the highest international standards (LEED Gold and Platinum).
• Reduce environmental impact through energy efficiency, efficient water management e optimizing the use of natural resources.
• Promote productive eco-efficiency and the adoption of clean technologies, aligned with Industry 4.0.
• Implement solutions for sustainable packaging, reducing the use of plastics and prioritizing recycled or compostable materials.
• To replace restricted chemical inputs for environmentally safe alternatives.
• Strengthen the culture of sustainability and innovation in Vedacit's production chain.

Results and Impacts

Environmental and Structural Certifications:
• LEED Gold – granted to the restaurant building.
• LEED Platinum – granted to the Distribution Center, Clinic and HSE (Health, Safety and Environment).

Environmental:
• Energy Efficiency:

• Significant reduction in energy consumption with natural lighting systems, cross ventilation and thermal insulation.

• High-performance equipment with a lower energy impact.

• Estimate of 420 tCO₂e avoided per year.

• Water Management:

• System water reuse e sanitary wastewater treatment plant (to be completed by 2025).

• Targets for reuse and control of industrial waste.

• Waste and Packaging Management:

• Implementation of packaging with 50% less plastic (3.6L packs).

• Development of compostable packaging for water-based products.

• Use of buckets with recycled content (PCR) e Flexible stand-up pouch films, reducing environmental footprint.

• Chemical Substitution:

• Adoption of less aggressive inputs, in accordance with European regulations. REACH.

• Partnership with Oswaldo Cruz Chemistry to develop acrylic resins with a lower environmental impact.

Operational and Economic:
• Expansion of 2.4 times the production capacity, with greater automation and process efficiency.
• Reduction of operational costs and increased productivity.
