A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
GRI 2-22
2022 was historic and transformative, principally due to Orizon
reaching new heights. By consolidating our renewables platform, we
have strengthened our strategy, focused on increasing our number of
ecoparks and maximizing the value of the waste through the use of
new technologies.
With the new acquisitions, we increased our number of ecoparks from
five to 13 in eight Brazilian states, increasing our capillarity and moving
into strategic states such as São Paulo, Sergipe, Alagoas, Goiás and Mato
Grosso. We doubled in size and almost tripled the potential volume of
waste received.
The inauguration of our first Mechanized Sorting Plant for recyclables, in
Jaboatão dos Guararapes (PE), the biggest in Latin America, was another
source of pride in 2022, that can be added to the incorporation of a second
similar plant in Paulínia (SP).
In 2022, we also took our first steps in the manufacture of biomethane
using biogas, with the launch of BioE, a company within the group that will
have received investments of R$ 1.2 billion by 2025/2024 and will add to
the production of biomethane already under way in Paulínia, expanding
this line of business to ten more units in Brazil. The founding of this
company is essential since this product is in short supply in the country
and the industrial sector is desperate for change and diversification in the
energy matrix. BioE should provide us with an additional Ebitda of R$ 550
million per year.
