Summary

Information
Waste Origin
Brickmaking
To make the disposal more environmentally correct
and less costly, the city of Juturnaíba incorporated
the sludge into the brick manufacturing process.
In the first month of disposal, the local ceramics
company managed to produce more than 1 million
pieces, saving 360 m³ (area of 720 m²) in a sanitary
landfill. The use of sludge reduces the demand
for clay, whose exploitation strongly impacts the
environment. The project is also under development
at other companies of the Group.

COLETIVA PROGRAM
306-3 306-4 | 306-5
The Coletiva Program is responsible for the
Group's waste management, which aims
to mitigate the social and environmental
impacts caused by the waste generated,
with employees' awareness to reduce
consumption, reuse materials, and properly
dispose of waste, encouraging local social
development. With monthly managed
indicators, the program encompasses the
measurement of the generated volume
and controls the third parties contracted to
transport and carry out the final disposal.
In 2021, management tools were improved,
with the development of a management
panel to control the waste generated and
the costs and investments required for the
topic. During the year, 217,734.66 tons of
waste were generated and disposed of.
