Aires Galhardo mentioned the replacement of the bleaching system at the Jacareí (SP) factory with a more modern technology, reducing the consumption of chemical products. Additionally, due to reduced carbon emissions, the modernization of the equipment will allow more energy exports to have financial and environmental returns.

Construction of New Factory by Suzano Pulp and Paper in Mato Grosso do Sul
The construction of Suzano’s new eucalyptus pulp factory in Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do Sul, will have an installed capacity of 2.3 million tons.
