Since the second semester of 2025, Camorim Serviços Marítimos has intensified its environmental agenda with the project Upcycling: Redefining Waste, which redefines the destination of PPE and internal waste. Thus, overalls, aprons, gloves, and vests, previously discarded, become bags, wallets, laptop cases, pouches, and keychains, adding value and reducing impacts.

In this context, through the project, 155 kg of textile material have been transformed into 600 recycled items, which in turn avoided the emission of 186.5 kg of CO2e. Therefore, the results reinforce circular economy and greenhouse gas mitigation, according to internal metrics assessed by the company in 2025.

At the same time, the initiative generates social impact by partnering with the Global South Women Institute. The school-factory, based in Niterói (RJ), has been operating for eight years in responsible textile waste management, consequently promoting the economic empowerment of refugee, migrant, and Brazilian women through industrial sewing.

Meanwhile, annually, Camorim acquires an average of five thousand uniforms for its employees. Therefore, following safety standards, periodic PPE exchanges are made, which still generate internal waste. In light of this, the goal for 2026 is that most of these materials will be converted into new eco-friendly products, thereby expanding circularity and productive inclusion.

In parallel, the company adopts environmental practices in its facilities and vessels. At the Niterói shipyard, since 2024, actions such as rainwater reuse through capture tanks and solar panel usage for energy generation have been implemented, optimizing resources and reducing operational costs.

Additionally, Camorim is currently in the implementation phase of the Selective Collection Program, started in 2025. Thus, the initiative enhances the sorting and disposal of waste, ensuring proper treatment. As part of the program, the company has acquired a hydraulic press for baling paper, cardboard, and plastic, which consequently optimizes storage, facilitates logistics, and adds value to recyclables. The estimate is to reduce waste volume by 30% by the end of 2026, according to the company’s environmental management.

Furthermore, another relevant action was the introduction of the Project Light-Earth in the ports of Rio de Janeiro and Itaguaí in 2024. Thus, the tugs now receive energy from fixed shore sources during their stay in ports, which equals the carbon sequestration of 75,500 trees, covering more than 40,000 m² of forest, according to operational estimates.

Finally, Eduardo Adami, Vice President of Camorim, highlighted in 2025 that “teams are seeking creative solutions to mitigate environmental impacts on land and sea,” in addition to establishing partnerships with social impact, reinforcing sustainable development in the maritime sector and for society.

About Camorim — Camorim Serviços Marítimos, a 100% Brazilian company, celebrates 30 years of operation in 2025. Considered a 360° hub in logistics and navigation, it employs over 1,300 employees, operates more than 150 vessels, maintains a shipyard in Niterói with a Private Use Terminal (TUP), and operates in the ports of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Espírito Santo, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Pará, and Maranhão.
