Bem Verde Ambiental is a waste management and reverse logistics company. It is part of Grupo Urca Energia, an investment holding company focused on transforming environmental liabilities into renewable energy, reducing CO2 emissions, and supporting businesses on their Net Zero journey.
Bem Verde Ambiental operates in four key areas: mechanized waste sorting, waste treatment and management, reverse logistics, and environmental credits.
Companies and industries seeking the best destination for their waste, counties looking for solutions for urban waste, and landfills aiming for greater efficiency and improved management.
Ideal for city halls, transfer stations, and landfills, mechanized waste sorting uses patented, green-certified equipment to sort urban waste and ensure the most appropriate destination in accordance with the National Solid Waste Plan. This service also includes full management.
It processes business waste to ensure compliance with regulations, help achieve ESG goals, and provide benefits such as reusing waste in the production chain, selling recycled materials, or generating renewable energy for self-consumption.
It processes waste (glass, metal, plastic, or cardboard) so it can return as raw material to the production chain of businesses, in the form of packaging or new products, thereby reducing the generation of new waste.
Environmental credits are tools that help companies offset and demonstrate compliance with sustainability goals. In addition to traditional carbon credits, Bem Verde issues plastic and reverse logistics credits, both directly linked to the principles of the circular economy.
Every year, 2 billion tons of solid waste are generated, but only 33% are properly treated. The rest ends up on streets, in landfills, rivers, and oceans, contaminating water, soil, and air; poisoning animals; causing fires from decomposing gases; spreading diseases; and increasing social vulnerability.
The National Solid Waste Plan, established by Decree No. 11,043 on April 13, 2022, mandates that public and private companies properly manage waste. The goal is to eliminate all landfills and increase waste recovery to approximately 50% within 20 years.
Waste is one of the greatest environmental challenges, but it can also become a valuable asset with significant benefits when properly managed. By ensuring the correct disposal of waste, companies contribute to environmental protection and reduce the use of natural resources in production processes. Additionally, they comply with the National Solid Waste Plan and the Zero Landfill Program, create jobs in socially vulnerable areas, provide proper treatment for economically viable waste, and extend the lifespan of landfills, avoiding the need for new environmental licenses.
