Brazil has improved its recycling rate in recent years but still faces challenges that need to be overcome. And Bem Verde is here to support this mission.
Operating since January 2025, our Waste Treatment and Recovery Center (CTVR) is located in the Penha neighborhood, in Rio de Janeiro.
Our waste sorting machines are certified by the Ministry of the Environment.

Any organization that generates or collects waste, such as industries, private waste collection companies, concessionaires, and landfills.
We receive materials from industries, waste collection companies (private or public), and landfills.
In our Mechanized Sorting Units, we separate what is recyclable and what is not. Glass, metal, plastic, cardboard, and other materials are sorted accordingly.
Recyclable materials return to the production chain as raw materials for manufacturing new products, such as packaging.
Non-recyclable materials are converted into organic matter for generating electricity, biomethane (through Green Gas), fertilizer, and solid recovered fuel.
At Bem Verde, ESG is implemented from end to end, including initiatives that offer hundreds of people the opportunity for a fresh start.
Through a partnership with the Santa Cabrini Foundation, which manages prison labor in the State of Rio de Janeiro, 80% of the 300 jobs created by the Waste Treatment and Recovery Center are filled by individuals serving sentences.
In addition to social reintegration, the program provides health insurance for workers and their children enrolled in school.
And this is just the beginning. Bem Verde is expanding its operations across Brazil, which means that soon, we and our clients will be a bridge for hundreds more people to redefine their lives.
