With 50 tons of plastic waste, a 30-meter bridge was assembled over a river in Scotland. It seems like an ordinary construction, but it doesn’t use traditional wood or steel and can even be disassembled.

Without concrete, without traditional cleaning, and without common separation, a block made of recycled plastic transforms problematic waste into a rigid piece for walls and structures.

With 1,500 plastic bottles and bamboo, a simple, triangular house transforms into an emergency shelter, born from urban waste, can be assembled collectively, and can be an option in remote areas and humanitarian crises.

With 6,200 discarded toys, a 357 m² house in India transforms children’s plastic waste and compressed earth into a wall, a colorful facade, and a curious attraction for neighborhood children.
The future unit is scheduled to start operations in 2026. As announced by the company, in addition to boosting fertilizer production in the region, the partnership aims to open new logistics opportunities to meet demands in Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, and Bahia.
Moreover, the companies expect that the new factory will generate 90 direct job vacancies and another 300 indirect jobs, strengthening the local job market.
Suzano Bets on Sustainable Growth with New Fertilizer Factory
After the installation of the new plant, Adufértil will begin using the Portocel terminal, shared by Suzano and Cenibra, for importing and handling fertilizers in Brazil.
Portocel will be the central point for the movement of 120,000 to 180,000 tons/year of fertilizers, with potential for expansion in the coming years.
This operation will expand the port area, increasing the storage and handling of cargo. In this way, the company will be able to ensure even more job opportunities in the region.
Alexandre Billot Mori, executive operations manager of Portocel, emphasizes that the initiative reinforces the terminal’s position as a central point in the logistics landscape of Espírito Santo, contributing to local development.
The expectation is that the region of Aracruz will become a relevant logistics hub in Brazil in the coming years.
Furthermore, Suzano sees the new factory as an important move towards sustainable growth.
The company, which plants 1.2 million trees daily in various operations in Brazil, aims to reduce the radius of fertilizer supply through this project.
Viviane Danemberg Gomes Lichtenstein, executive supply manager of Suzano, concluded by stating that in addition to strengthening the local economy, the project will contribute to cleaner environmental practices, reducing emissions.
