Environmental Compensation

HELPING NATURE AND SOCIETY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL COMPENSATION

100% OF NATIVE'S PACKAGINGS ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY COMPENSATED

 The National Solid Waste Policy organizes the way Brazil deals with waste. One of its requirements is that manufacturers, distributors, importers or traders of products that use packaging are required to ensure that at least 22% of all post-consumer waste in the market is recycled. Aware of the problem of waste and the negative impact it causes on the environment, Native goes beyond the requirements of the PNRS and, through a partnership with eureciclo, carries out the Environmental Compensation of 100% of its packaging sold in Brazil. In other words, for each organic Native product sold, another package of the same material is recycled, thus respecting nature and valuing the recycling chain.

If it has eureciclo's seal, it is recyclable

Eureciclo is a logistics technology company whose mission is to increase recycling rates and create value for all agents in the chain. Through block chain technology, eureciclo tracks every step of the waste process, offering security and transparency to companies such as Native. Environmental compensation guarantees the recycling of equivalent material from the company's packaging and remunerates the environmental service of the sorting centers. The investment is reversed in the chain, generating scalable economic incentives for recycling in Brazil and increasing the plants’ production capacity.

STIMULUS FOR THE RECYCLING CHAIN

In addition to all the benefits for companies and the environment, the credits generated by the partnership with eureciclo help to value the recycling chain and workers in this sector. The investment generates incentives such as:

● Structuring of cooperatives with the acquisition of machines and equipment that increase the sorting capacity, trucks that increase the collection capacity, and improvements in the general infrastructure;

● Enabling chains of materials with low recyclability, adding value to the materials;

● Better distribution of income and compensation;

● Payment of labor charges and tax regularization;

● Purchase of safety equipment (PPE);

● Capacity building and training.
