Did you know that EPS – expanded polystyrene known in Brazil as Isopor® and in other countries as Styrofoam, is one hundred percent recyclable and it is made of up to ninety eight percent of air and two percent of plastic? It has characteristics like insulating material and it stores food with no contamination.
According to data from ABIQUIM (Brazilian Association of Chemical Industry), in 2019 the apparent consumption of EPS (production plus importation), was one hundred and seven thousand tons year in Brazil.
Even being one hundred percent recyclable, sixty eight percent was not recycled.
So, 72,500 tons were improperly disposed in Brazil and this not only pollutes rivers, seas and soil but also takes up landfill sites.
To be a social company which focus on reducing and mitigating environmental and social impacts caused by improper disposal of EPS (Isopor®/ Styrofoam) in metropolitan region of São Paulo and ESR is going to do that through innovative as well as sustainable solutions for waste recycling and reusing.
Our solution seeks efficiency in transportation and storage of disposed styrofoam/ Isopor®, which are critical points, even obstructive for the advance of Isopor®/ sryrofoam recycling in our city.
ESR, under prê-scheduling, is going to offer the service of receiving and compacting EPS on-the-spot at the big waste producers.
The big waste producer schedules with us and offers us a parking space. Our team goes to the local, parks ESR vehicle and our equipment will grind as well as compact the material so as to reduce the volume. This means more plastic and less air to be transported and stored.
The collected and processed material will be sold to the industry in order to produce other kinds of plastic material.
We are going to track the material from collecting to selling and certificates of waste destination are going to be issued.
Our company and solution is aligned to SDGs 8, 11, 12
We are a startup that was founded with the mission to contribute to the sustainable development of the planet.
Adopting socially and environmentally responsible practices, in addition to structured processes, with governance.
Our proposal is to develop an efficient and attractive process for all the links in the Styrofoam recycling chain. Focused on the metropolitan region of the city of São Paulo, we operate in an innovative way with connections and strategic partnerships.
