Eduardo states that “This titanium dioxide project is innovative, developed over the last 10 years, and is important for the country, which is a product importer. Two-thirds of Brazilian consumption is supplied by China and the United States, and Brazil could become less dependent on imported products, benefiting the trade balance, creating jobs, and serving the local industry. The technology, developed by national technicians, is environmentally friendly and sustainable.”
