MECHANIZED SORTING OF
RECYCLABLES
For Orizon, there is nothing so important in the circular economy as separating
and correctly disposing of recyclable materials. The company believes that
the building of a green future is the result of the decisions that are taken
now. The two Mechanized Solid Waste Sorting Plants (MSPs) in operation
form an integral part of these decisions, separating recyclable products
from the post-consumption waste, using international-standard technology.
By doing so, Orizon offers industry the possibility of inserting a 100% recycled
product back into the production chain. The Company is responsible for
the operation of two plants in: Jaboatão dos Guararapes (PE) and Paulínia
(SP). Both formed part of the company's assets in 2022. Together, they
separated 8,000 tons of recyclable materials in 2022.
The plants operate on three shifts six days per week. The Paulínia plant
was incorporated with the purchase of Estre. Furthermore, Orizon has
constructed the Jaboatão MSP to be the biggest in Latin America.
With investment of R$ 77 million and 150 direct jobs, The Jaboatão de
Guararapes MSP (PE) was constructed to be the biggest in Latin America,
making it an international benchmark. With the capacity to process
500,000 tons of waste per year, the aim is maximize the reintroduction
of material into the circular economy, be it through the production of
recyclable material or green fuel to generate thermal energy.View entire presentation
