For Aron, the expectation is that the industrial symbiosis will be part not only of the economic activity but also of Bracell’s efforts for the well-being of the community and the environment. The director states that the exchange of raw materials, water, and energy will reduce the impacts resulting from its industrial activity, as well as operational costs.

The new factory will feature four machines for tissue production, which will be converted into paper towels and toilet paper.

With an annual production capacity of 240,000 tons, the unit will be one of the most modern and sustainable in the world, fully automated and the only one in the country operating completely free of fossil fuels.

During the construction phase of the project, more than 2,000 jobs are expected to be generated, and for operations, there will be 550 permanent jobs. The focus of hiring is in the interior of São Paulo, the region where the company operates.

At the event, Tarcísio emphasized the importance of investments like Bracell’s for the development of the state. His mission is to create a favorable ecosystem for significant investments like this to stimulate the growth of the state. Tarcísio highlights that he takes pride in having one of the largest and most sustainable pulp factories in the world, establishing leadership in the sector for SP.
