CONTROL OF EMISSIONS

The need for steam generation for the development of activities in the industry requires the company to thermal power generation.

The gases from biomass combustion in the furnace of the company are pre-treated with a system via wet, type washer hydro-venturi (WHV) of high efficiency, providing the release of emissions within the limits established by environmental legislation.

MANAGEMENT OF SOLID WASTE GENERATED

All solid waste generated are controlled from its beginning, every step of the industrial processing, segregated from other types of waste and sent to the Transitional Storage Center of Industrial Waste (TSCIW). Each residue is stored in specific bays, heavy, sorted and routed to the final destination after the formation of lots that provide the minimum conditions for the logistics of the process. Lots of previously classified waste is sent to companies with licenses specific Environmental to receive such waste. The waste recycling company indexes exceed the 90% mark, that is, 1,000 kg of waste from the manufacturing process, 900 kg return to the market in the form of useful products.
