*The amount of water disposed the result from the sum of the volumes of effluents effectively leaving manufacturing units for
final disposal. The lower result for 2021 is due to a few factors: equalization of the calculation method, considering only effluent
volumes disposed outside the units. Volumes of effluents recycled in-house are not included in the calculation. In 2021, due to the
hibernation of the Vegetable Unit in Madureira/RJ, the volume of effluent disposed was reduced.

WASTE

The Company's Solid Waste
Management Plan (PGRS) is
in line with applicable laws
and considers environmental
sustainability. It aims to reduce
the generation of solid waste
and its disposal in a more
sustainable way, fostered by the
Zero Landfill Project.I Through
the initiative, solid waste,
after produced, goes to sorting
and, then, to its destinations:
co-processing, composting,
recycling or re-refining. In
defining treatments, M. Dias
Branco follows the classification
criteria, considering the most
appropriate practices in terms of
environment and sustainability,
in compliance with the
applicable laws.
Currently, Jaboatão dos
Guararapes/PE unit operates
with 100% of its waste disposed
of in a sustainable way. Two
other industrial units are close
to reaching the mark of 100%
waste treatment: Shortening and
Special Margarines, in Fortaleza/
CE, and São Caetano do Sul/SP,
both with a current recycling
rate of 98.2%. We are developing
a plan to implement the project
in other factories.
With regard to waste
management, targets and
indicators are set considering the
SGI Policy and the environmental
impacts classified as significant
under the methodology for
identifying environmental
aspects.
Goals for reducing waste
generation and increasing
recycling are proposed on an
PAPELÃO
RECICLADO
PRENSADO
annual basis by the company's
Board of Directors, based on the
assumption of sustaining the
good results. Waste recycling
index is one of the performance
and bonus indicators for
the environment team and
the Corporate Corporate
Environment Management. In
2021, 36,345.57 tons of waste
were proced, down 26% as
compared to the previous year.
