Klabin participates in the 5th Zero Waste Week of Itajaí with awareness and sustainability actions

The event took place from October 19 to 27 and featured more than 60 free attractions for the community

 

Santa Catarina, October 29, 2024 – Klabin, which has been operating in Santa Catarina for over 60 years, participated in the 5th Zero Waste Week in Itajaí, with activities running until October 27. The event showcased a variety of initiatives focused on raising environmental awareness and promoting sustainable practices. With over 60 activities planned for the community and events within private spaces, the Zero Waste Week aims to engage the community and promote waste reduction.
Over 460 Klabin employees took part in various actions at the Itajaí Unit. At Klabin, daily 15-minute discussions on the environment were conducted to address questions and delve into the significance of the subject. A display was placed at the exit of the cafeteria to guide employees on proper waste management, and a lecture was given, called "The Mareadas," with expert tips on ocean pollution.


"The 2030 Klabin Agenda is part of the Klabin Sustainable Development Goals, which we call KSDGs and consist of short-, medium- and long-term targets. A Workshop on Zero Waste and KODS Targets was offered to employees as well, to help them grasp the objectives in practice. They also received guidance on the use of our Ekoponto, which receives diverse waste for proper disposal, and on packaging reuse,” said Pedro Paulo da Luz, industrial manager of Klabin's Itajaí Unit.


The Company also created a resource for the community: the "Klabin Minute," an audio segment featuring awareness messages that was aired on Band FM radio (92.9).
