Ambev Will Build Its First Sustainable Glass Factory in Paraná, with an Investment of R$ 870 Million. The Expectation is That Thousands of Jobs Will Be Generated in the Chosen Region.

The beverage manufacturer Ambev chose Carambeí, in the Campos Gerais, a city located 294 kilometers from Londrina, for the installation of Brazil’s largest sustainable glass factory, with an investment of over R$ 870 million. The announcement was made last Thursday (23), and the letter of intent had been signed with the State Government at the end of last year.

More Than 2,000 Jobs Will Be Created by Ambev

Construction will begin still in 2022, generating 1,500 job openings during the works. Starting from the beginning of operations, which is expected in 2025, the projection is that between 300 and 400 direct positions will be created. According to Governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior, this is yet another fantastic investment for Paraná.

The Ambev is already a reference in sustainability in the state and the world and is now bringing another great innovation: the sustainable glass factory, which follows the company’s culture of recycling bottles. It is more income generation and jobs attracted to Paraná. It is important to emphasize that the state set a record in generating formal jobs, with over 172,000 openings created last year.

According to Elisângela Pedroso, the mayor of the city, this is the result of hard work from the entire Ambev team and the state, which has been supporting the company with information sharing since December of last year.

This is a historic milestone, a great step for the industrialization of the municipality. This is an achievement for Campos Gerais, Carambeí, and Paraná. Ambev’s investment in Paraná focuses on improving reverse logistics and the circular economy and is linked to the company’s goal of having all its products in returnable packaging or made from recycled content by 2025.

Sustainable Glass Factory Will Be Built Using Only Renewable Energy

Glass, a material widely used as packaging for beverages, has great recycling potential. When recycled, it not only boosts the reverse logistics chain but also generates positive impacts such as reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions released into the atmosphere.

The unit will be established using only renewable electrical energy sources and will be equipped to operate with biofuels. In addition, it will have a station for treating 100% of the generated effluents and reusing the water used in the process, ensuring high energy and water efficiency.

According to Ambev, the company’s first glass factory, which was inaugurated in 2008 in Rio de Janeiro, is currently the glass factory that operates with the highest percentage of recycled material in the country. This year it produced the first completely recycled glass bottle in Brazil on an industrial scale.

In addition to the new glass factory in Carambeí, the company also has facilities in Ponta Grossa and Curitiba, distribution centers in various cities, and partnerships with the agribusiness sector in Guarapuava.
