Macaé, April 15, 2020 – Ocyan donated acetate sheets, in partnership with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Macaé campus, for the production of masks for health professionals on the front lines of the fight against the new Coronavirus pandemic. The equipment will be produced in the University laboratory, through 3D printing – a total of approximately two thousand masks will be produced with this material, with manufacturing starting immediately.

“These PPEs will initially be distributed to public hospitals in Macaé, but they may also cover other health units in neighboring municipalities and the region. Safety is and will always be a value in our activities, and this type of PPE will be essential, not only for the protection of these professionals but also for those who will be cared for by them. Protecting themselves is protecting everyone,” explains Marco Aurélio Fonseca, Sustainability Director of Ocyan.
The partnership between Ocyan and UFRJ is long-standing. Through its Social Responsibility Program, School in Action, via the #inovareaprender project, the company donated technology and innovation equipment to the Management and Research Center of the UFRJ Macaé Unit, including a laser cutter that will now be used to manufacture the masks. The equipment can produce up to 500 masks per week. In addition to these machines, there are volunteers working from home, with their own 3D printing equipment, in a joint effort to meet this demand at this time.

Internal Campaign
Ocyan also started an internal campaign this week to encourage donations from its members to the social program Action of Citizenship, an internationally recognized institution in the fight against hunger.
“Many of our members participate in various volunteer actions throughout the year and are once again demonstrating a spirit of service by mobilizing to obtain resources and in some way support the most needy, a population that is more vulnerable due to this crisis,” concludes the director.
