The city of Inocência, in Mato Grosso do Sul, is preparing for a major economic leap with the groundbreaking of Arauco’s new pulp mill. The event, scheduled for April 9, will feature the presence of political and business leaders.

This project, called Project Sucuriú, represents a milestone for Arauco in Brazil, consolidating its operations in the pulp sector with a significant investment.

Arauco’s Industrial Expansion

Job Creation in the City

The arrival of Arauco’s new pulp mill is transforming the population dynamics of Inocência. According to Mayor Antonio Ângelo Garcia dos Santos, the population growth could reach 32,000 people during the construction phase. After the project’s completion, it is estimated that the city will have between 18,000 and 22,000 permanent residents.

To support this evolution, Arauco is allocating R$ 85 million for a Socio-Environmental Strategic Plan (PES), which includes improvements in urban infrastructure, as well as investments in education, health, and public safety.

This plan will be developed in partnership with the private sector and local authorities, ensuring sustainable growth in the region.

Sustainability and Technology

Arauco’s new pulp mill will be an example of energy efficiency and sustainability. Its production process will fully utilize the byproducts of the industry, minimizing waste.

Additionally, the plant will have a power generation capacity of over 400 megawatts (MW), with half of this volume being made available for the national energy system, contributing to the supply of large urban centers.

Another highlight is Arauco’s environmental commitment, which will implement detailed monitoring of local biodiversity. This effort includes cataloging native species and defining priority areas for conservation, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability.
