Environment, Job Creation and Income


Ceasa-Campinas has a Residues Management System (SGR) to treat and take advantage in an integrated form all the waste generated in its produce, flowers, and plant trade. It contributes to the environment and also generates work and income. In Ceasa, there are 680 tons of residues per month of which more than 80% are organic and the remaining material is recyclable: wood, paper, glass, plastic and metal. There is an intense work about environmental education in addition to logistics improvements and selective collection infrastructure. In 2007, an agreement with the City Hall Urban Cleaning Department is facilitating to take advantage again of the vegetable gardens leftover. In Delta A, the landfill mill, Ceasa organic residues have been transformed into fertilizers to be used in the city green areas. Ceasa-Campinas is one of few warehouses in the country to provide a useful destination for the organic waste.

The selective collection in "Central" generates work and revenue to more than 20 people. The cooperative workers, "Unidos na Vitoria", in Ceasa, collect paper, plastic, glass, and metal and sell them to industries. All wood leftovers are recollected by the "Central" itself and removed by companies that use the material as biomass. Another NGO team collects the thin paper. The Cooperative formation had the technical support and Ceasa infrastructure and it is carried out with the Reference Center in cooperativeness and Associativism (CRCA). In 2006, the selective collection in Ceasa-Campinas ensured the work for 9 people and could take advantage of 14 tons in average of recyclable material. In February 2008, they are 23 families that work with the collection and 133 tons of recyclable materials have been collected.
