In 2020, there was an increase in the generation of waste due to the deployment and operation of new production
processes, mainly related to the Amicarbazone Synthesis Plant, which compromises comparability with data from
previous years. The new processes differ from those that were already underway. Yet, they are also being monitored
and make up the 2021 reduction goals.

In May 2020, IHARA stopped disposing of waste
hazardous and non-hazardous - for landfill, thus
adopting co-processing, a more sustainable type of
disposal. The company intends to apply this method
throughout 2021, in order to zero the amount of waste
destined for landfill.

As a way of reducing and or mitigating environmental impacts, IHARA fulfills all the requirements related to the en-
vironmental licensing of new expansion projects, new equipment or new products, and the survey of environmental
aspects and impacts is also carried out through LAIA (Ambiental Assessment Impact), in which the impact controls
are inserted. All CETESB environmental requirements, included in the licenses, are controlled and implemented in
order to reduce and mitigate potential risks of impacts by IHARA's activities.
