Brasil Pelo Meio Ambiente

ABOUT IT

Program for the correct collection and recycling of raffia (a type of polypropylene). Disposal of this product is more difficult to carry out correctly and there are few reuse actions for this type of material.

Results and Objectives

Partnerships with various cooperatives to collect: Cooperativa Agrícola Sul Brasil de Marília; Casul; Copercana; Rio Alto; Vetlins; Cooperativa Agrícola de Itu; Coplacana.

Collection of more than 4 tons of plastic raffia packaging, which is equivalent to around 50,000 bags, 40 trees planted and 6 tons of CO2eq offset. 

The projection is to reach 5 tons by the end of 2023 and 15 tons by 2024. Next year, the plan is to open another 100 collection points and reach 1,500 people through educational activities.
