At Flexicotton's unit in Santa Catarina, Viveo uses 100% of the
-
raw material of cotton strip residue. short fiber plaids of flaky
appearance, from fabric industry waste. In 2021, about 4 thousand
tons of this waste were purchased for the production of rolls, discs,
cotton balls and squares, flexible rods, breast protectors, multipur-
pose cotton, and cotton swabs.
Another practice adopted by the company is the reuse of the
cotton residue generated in the spinning of the textile process in
orthopedic products. The manufacture of the products takes place
in the same manufacturing plant, which brings operational synergy
to the use of the material. About
86.5 tons of this waste were di-
rected to internal reuse in 2021.
Also in this sense, we produce
flexible rods of biodegradable
paper, replacing the plastic rod. In
2021, about 113 million rods were
produced with sticks made from
paper, avoiding the consumption
of approximately 3.6 thousand
tons of plastic.

ESG strategy:
Sustainable Products Working Group
GRI 103-1; 103-2
Viveo believes that analysis of the impact of products and packaging and the search for
sustainable solutions must be an intrinsic element of the innovation process and continuous
development of its portfolio, involving the entire scope of the service life of products and
services. Therefore, this theme integrates the company's sustainability strategy and reflects
its commitment to the entire ecosystem.
As part of the Company's ESG strategy, a working group is dedicated to integrating sus-
tainability into the product development process. In this sense, attributes to be pursued in
production were defined, which involve the use of raw materials of renewable origin, the
creation of biodegradable lines, the replacement of packaging with returnable or recyclable
versions, the reduction of water use in manufacturing, and emissions in transportation, in
addition to ensuring respect for human and labor rights throughout the production chain.
In 2021, the activities of the WG focused on the diagnosis of components used in the man-
ufactured products, to verify opportunities for improvement, as well as market research with
customers in order to gain insights related to the theme. A Sustainable Products Policy was
also elaborated, available on our website, which will guide the development of new prod-
ucts of the company.
