Jaime Verruck confirmed that the environmental licensing process for the new plant is already underway, with completion scheduled for February 2025. “Bracell already has a strong base in Água Clara and is expanding to Santa Rita do Pardo and Bataguassu, consolidating its presence with more than two thousand jobs and a nursery that employs more than 250 women.”, highlighted Verruck.
Promising future for Mato Grosso do Sul
With the addition of this new plant, Mato Grosso do Sul is getting closer to having six pulp mills in operation, solidifying its position as one of the largest pulp production hubs in Brazil. This investment not only reinforces the state’s leadership in the sector, but also promises to provide a significant boost to the local economy, creating opportunities and fostering sustainable development.
Bracell, by expanding its capacity and investing heavily in the region, is not only increasing its production, but also contributing to the economic and social growth of Mato Grosso do Sul.
The images of the pulp mill are horrible and do not represent the Brazilian sector.
