Announcement Of The New Million-Dollar Project For Glass Manufacturing Was Made By Ambev And It Will Start Being Built Next Year

Ambev publicly stated that it will build a new sustainable glass factory in the State of Paraná, with operations expected to begin in 2025. The investment for the construction of the new unit will be R$ 870 million. The city that will host the new headquarters of Ambev’s glass factory has not yet been defined, but the expectation is that construction will begin next year.

Sustainable Appeal

In addition to recycled glass bottles, Ambev aims to extend its sustainable appeal to other sectors of its factories. This will be done through the use of renewable electricity and preparation to operate with biofuels. In addition to these measures, a station will also be built to treat wastewater generated and to reuse water used in the production process.

According to Ambev, currently, the glass factory that works with the highest percentage of recycled material in Brazil is the company’s first glass factory, inaugurated in 2008 in Rio de Janeiro. In 2021, the factory produced the country’s first 100% recycled glass bottle, an initiative that influenced the construction of the new glass facility in the State of Paraná.

Ambev also stated that all production is in line with the company’s goal of having 100% of its products in returnable packaging or made predominantly from recycled content by 2025. “The new glass factory will drive a more sustainable future. This innovation will positively impact the entire reverse logistics ecosystem,” said Rodrigo Figueiredo, Vice President of Sustainability and Supplies at Ambev.

New Jobs

The expectation is that the new glass factory in Paraná will create approximately 1,500 new jobs during construction. The investment was formalized along with the governor of Paraná, Ratinho Júnior, as well as government representatives and Ambev executives.

In addition to the new recyclable glass factory, Ambev already has a Brewery and a Malting Plant with a low-carbon concept in the city of Ponta Grossa, Paraná, and in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. Over the past five years, the two facilities have reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere by 90% until total neutrality.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The race of humanoid robots in factories has truly begun, Hyundai announced that it will deploy more than 25,000 units of Atlas in its production lines starting in 2028, in a partnership that involves Boston Dynamics and training with Google DeepMind.

After nearly three decades and more than 1 million cars produced, Toyota will close the historic Indaiatuba plant on June 30 and concentrate Corolla production in Sorocaba, as part of an R$ 11 billion plan that heavily invests in flex hybrids and even an unprecedented pickup.

The number of Brazilian meatpacking plants with suspended meat sales to China rises to five, after the Chinese blocked the JBS unit in Vilhena due to the presence of hormones in the shipments, adding extra pressure on the sector on the eve of the 2026 export quota being exhausted.

How much does it cost to live with dignity in Brazil? A study found that in all 79 regions analyzed, the necessary salary was above the minimum of R$ 1,621. In São Paulo, a family of four needs R$ 6,155 per month.
