||| Environmental Management Sustainable industry Sustainable industry 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.

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.
