Strategies and perspectives
Small producers
SCL’s growth is also associated with it servicing small producers, dedicated to family agriculture which, due to the great distances between rural properties and the receiving units, not always face ideal conditions to return empty packages to the collection locations.
For this reason, inpEV has invested in planning and in executing itinerant receiving stations. In 2013, a new model was successfully tested in three pilot actions, done in the Catuti and Mato Verde region, in the north of Minas Gerais, and in Acrelândia, in Acre. This initiative will be replicated throughout Brazil.
Innovative products
Campo Limpo Plastic Transformation and Recycling stands out in the market since it offers differentiated products having a high quality standard. Post-consumption High Density Polyethylene resin (HDPE) is one of the examples, as well as Triex Ecoplastic, manufactured with three layers by means of a co-extrusion process (internal and external layers consisting of fresh resin and an intermediate layer of post-consumption resin), available in 5l and 20l versions.
Triex Ecoplastic was the first in its category to obtain UN certification (group II, density 1.4 g/cm³) for maritime and ground transportation of hazardous products. Besides this, it has guaranteed certification for maritime transportation by the Brazilian Navy, as well as the Green Seal of the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT [Association of Technical Standarts]), which certifies the products (based on their composition) and environmentally friendlier services.
