GRI 306-1 Waste generation and significant waste-related impacts
Our waste management procedures align with the Brazilian National Waste Management Policy (PNRS). We ensure compliance at all times with our Environmental Policy and Waste Management Plan (PGRS). Waste is among the KPIs that are tracked within our Integrated Management System. This KPI is regularly communicated to employees throughout the year to track performance.
In our forestry operations in Bahia, procurement and warehouse processes fully support the seedling production, planting, support, harvesting and logistics stages. With planted forests as this business unit’s final product, loading and transportation activities—positioned downstream in the value chain—have the potential to generate Class I (Hazardous) waste. These waste streams are managed, from storage to final disposal, strictly in accordance with procedure PR.FLO.016 and applicable laws and regulations.
Bracell’s approach to waste management is based on three circular economy principles:
- Reduce waste volumes generated in the process
- Re-utilize materials whenever possible
- Recycle waste in partnership with third parties where waste reduction or reuse is not possible
We are implementing practices aligned with circular economy principles, transforming our value chain and production processes to minimize environmental impacts. As part of these practices, industrial waste management systems are designed to support:
- Eco-efficiency: minimizing waste generation through optimized production processes.
- Waste recovery: transforming byproducts into inputs for other value chains, such as biomass-derived fuels, soil amendments, and organic fertilizers.
- A circular value chain: recycling waste back into the production process through resource recovery and closed-loop processes.
We generate waste throughout the pulp and paper manufacturing processes, as well as in our forestry operations (see GRI 306-3: Waste generated for data on waste generation by type and operation).
In our forestry operations, we leave post-harvest eucalyptus residues—such as bark, branches, and leaves—on plantation areas to increase organic matter in the soil. Pulpwood sent to the mill also generates residues such as bark, branches, leaves, sawdust, and debarking waste. All processes are supported by Environmental Aspects and Impacts Assessment spreadsheets (LAIAs), which include assessments of waste generation.
The pulp manufacturing process produces three inorganic waste streams: dregs, grits and lime mud. Dregs and grits are generated during the chemical recovery stage, specifically in the green liquor clarification and lime calcination processes, respectively. Lime mud is produced during the causticizing process, when the chemical reaction regenerates lime used in the recovery cycle.
Bracell continuously pursues alternatives to reduce the production of these materials and expand sustainable solutions, in line with our commitment to advancing the circular economy and responsible waste management (read more under GRI 306-4: Waste diverted from disposal and GRI 306-5: Waste directed to disposal).
Tests are underway to evaluate the use of dregs, grits and other waste materials in the construction of service roads and as materials for building and construction applications.
At our Northeast paper mill in Feira de Santana (BA), several initiatives are being implemented, including the installation of drying and drainage boxes for sludge prior to landfill disposal. Additional initiatives at this facility include testing the use of sludge residues in our forestry operations in Bahia and using waste as a fuel source for steam generation in the biomass boiler (read more under GRI 306-5: Waste directed to disposal).
During the year, we implemented process and infrastructure improvements to reduce waste generation and improve waste management practices.
In addition, the R&D department is advancing two major projects focused on the reuse of industrial by-products:
- Potassium sulfate plant: in 2025, a facility was built to produce potassium sulfate from a residue generated at the São Paulo mill, which will be used as a forestry fertilizer.
- New uses for waste materials: Tests are underway to evaluate the use of dregs, grits and other waste materials in the construction of service roads and as materials for building and construction applications.
At our Northeast paper mill in Feira de Santana (BA), several initiatives are being implemented, including the installation of drying and drainage boxes for sludge prior to landfill disposal. Additional initiatives at this facility include testing the use of sludge residues in our forestry operations in Bahia.
Our Bracell 2030 roadmap includes a landfill waste reduction target
In pulp production, our target is to reduce landfilling of Class II industrial waste by 90% per metric ton of product by 2030, reaching 5 kg/adt.
In 2025, we reached 33.1 kg/adt of waste sent to landfills per metric ton of pulp produced.
We have also set a target to reach 97% recovery of caustic soda (NaOH) and quicklime (CaO) in pulp production.
GRI 306-2 Management of significant waste-related impacts
Potential impacts associated with waste materials generated in our pulp production process include the use of land for landfills. To minimize potential land-use impacts, Bracell seeks to reduce the amount of waste it generates in its operations through practices to improve eco-efficiency.
At Bracell, waste management practices follow stringent standards and are carried out in an organized and transparent manner. The entire process—from segregation to transportation—is compliant with applicable legislation and with our Waste Management Plan (PGRS). As safety and prevention safeguards, we complete environmental checklists and maintain emergency response kits available during equipment maintenance activities. In addition, we continuously work to reduce waste generation by implementing circular economy practices.
At the São Paulo mill, for example, we work with external firms to convert waste into useful products, such as agricultural soil amendments and organic compounds. This provides a sustainable application for waste materials and helps reduce impacts, even as production increases year after year.
At our Lençóis Paulista (SP) mill, waste is weighed daily using an on-site weigh bridge. Each transport operation is properly documented through a Waste Waybill (MTR), with information entered into the State Online Solid Waste Management System (SIGOR). The data are consolidated monthly, supporting the compilation of environmental indicators and management and regulatory reports, including our Sustainability Report and regulatory filings mandated by the state environmental regulator, Cetesb. Waste is classified according to type and disposal method, in compliance with standards issued by the federal environmental regulator, Ibama.
At the Camaçari Industrial Park (BA), waste is collected at its source and directed either to internal temporary storage or to an internal industrial landfill. Each movement is recorded, using a conversion factor to estimate weight from volume. All external transport is documented through the waste waybill system. These data are consolidated monthly, generating environmental indicators and reports, including our Sustainability Report and regulatory filings required by the state environmental regulator, INEMA. Waste is classified by type and destination, also in accordance with environmental regulations.
At the Feira de Santana (BA) mill, waste streams are managed using spreadsheets that record invoice numbers, weights and waste values. Monitoring is done monthly and is site-specific, and all waste leaves the plant with an issued waste waybill for traceability. In addition, a Waste Management Plan is kept up to date as a key management tool.
Through these practices, we deliver on our commitment to sustainability by ensuring that each stage of the process is safe, transparent and focused on reducing environmental impacts.
At the Bracell Papéis Sudeste facility, located at the Lençóis Paulista (SP) site, most of the waste generated consists of recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, and wood. Data related to waste generation, transport and disposal, as well as the respective Waste Waybills, are properly recorded and managed within internal environmental management systems.
Recyclable waste is sold and sent to licensed partner firms, ensuring it is recycled back into the value chain in accordance with circular economy principles. Currently, more than 90% of the waste generated at the facility is recyclable, demonstrating the operation’s strong environmental performance.
In addition to environmental benefits, this management approach also drives positive social impacts by strengthening the recycling value chain, generating income for partner companies and cooperatives, and encouraging sustainable practices among employees and the local community, supporting Bracell’s commitment to sustainability, social and environmental responsibility, and ESG principles.
In line with the principles of reduction, reuse, and recycling, we have implemented several initiatives in our operations, such as:
Woodchip preparation
Appropriate clone selection and forest management and harvesting techniques help to ensure that our pulpwood logs have minimal bark and can be optimally used in production. This reduces waste in the woodchip preparation stage and the screener stage of the fiber line.
Repurposing bark and sawdust
Eucalyptus bark and sawdust are used as biomass in boilers for steam production. In this process, they also generate energy and help replace fossil fuels, such as natural gas. Excess waste from energy generation, when caused by equipment downtime, is sent to external partners for energy recovery or used in the rehabilitation of degraded land.
Use of lime mud
Lime mud, generated during kiln start-up and shutdown, is recovered in the production process or, when it cannot be diluted in the chemical recovery system, is sent to external partners for the production of soil amendments. In 2025, a small portion was disposed of in landfills
GRI 306-3 Waste generated
During the year, we implemented process and infrastructure improvements to reduce waste generation and improve waste management practices.
In our Bahia operations, construction of three new waste storage facilities is underway to enhance storage structure, improve handling, and support reuse processes. In addition, we developed a solution for waste sludge, knots and eucalyptus bark, which are mixed and used as organic compost to restore degraded forest areas. Due to its success, this initiative has now been incorporated into our routine operations.
In addition, the R&D department is advancing two major projects focused on the reuse of industrial by-products:
- Potassium sulfate plant: in 2025, a facility was built to produce potassium sulfate from a residue generated at the São Paulo mill, which will be used as a forestry fertilizer.
- New uses for waste materials: Tests are underway to evaluate the use of dregs, grits and other waste materials in the construction of service roads and as materials for building and construction applications.
At our Northeast paper mill in Feira de Santana (BA), several initiatives are being implemented, including the installation of drying and drainage boxes for sludge prior to landfill disposal. Additional initiatives at this facility include testing the use of sludge residues in our forestry operations in Bahia.

Note 1: waste generated from Bracell’s mill operations in São Paulo includes forestry waste generated within the forestry operations situated in the state of São Paulo, which is managed by the Industrial Environmental Department. The forestry waste is not quantitatively measured, but are fully managed and disposed of in accordance to environmental criteria of Brazil legislation. Forestry waste generated from operations situated outside the state of São Paulo is handled by third-party companies, following specific management protocols, as listed above.
Note 2: waste generated from Bracell’s industrial operations in Bahia was calculated based on the sum of quantities disposed of, as recorded in the Final Disposal Certificates (FDCs), plus the estimated weight of waste still stored at the Central Waste Storage Facility as of December 31, 2025. The process includes collection, identification, temporary storage or final disposal (Bracell industrial landfill), transportation, treatment, and final disposal. All waste movements are formally recorded to ensure control and traceability of waste generation and destination.
Waste generation versus waste disposal in pulp operations
Waste data is tracked via key performance indicators (KPIs), supporting our commitment to Bracell 2030 roadmap targets, which include a 90% reduction in Class II industrial waste sent to landfills, covering our São Paulo and Bahia pulp operations.
In 2025, Bracell’s total waste volume in pulp operations was 500,586.41 metric tons, with the largest share coming from the São Paulo mill, which accounted for 369,063.60 metric tons (73.73%). Our Bahia pulp mill operation contributed 108,791 metric tons (21.73%), while our forestry operations generated significantly smaller volumes, reflecting the specific nature of those operations.
The total volume of waste from pulp operations sent to landfills in 2025 was 125,822.92 metric tons. Of this amount, 111,642.28 metric tons (88,73%) were generated at our São Paulo operation, while 14,145.12 metric tons (11,24%) came from our Bahia operations.

GRI 306-4 Waste diverted from disposal
Waste management practices at Bracell follow circular economy principles and a hierarchical approach that prioritizes, first and foremost, reducing waste generation during production processes. Whenever possible, materials are reused internally, and when that is not feasible, we partner with third parties to recycle the waste, ensuring environmentally sound disposal. This approach supports our commitment to operational efficiency and sustainability across the entire value chain (see more under GRI 306-1 Waste generation and significant waste-related impacts).
Our disposal alternatives include recycling, energy recovery, reuse, composting, effluent treatment, agricultural use, and re-refining—a process that transforms used oil into a new, decontaminated product.
During the year, we implemented process and infrastructure improvements to reduce waste generation and improve waste management practices.
In addition, the R&D department is advancing two major projects focused on the reuse of industrial by-products:
- Potassium sulfate plant: in 2025, a facility was built to produce potassium sulfate from a residue generated at the São Paulo mill, which will be used as a forestry fertilizer.
- New uses for waste materials: Tests are underway to evaluate the use of dregs, grits and other waste materials in the construction of service roads and as materials for building and construction applications.
- Fertilizer plant: The feasibility of installing a fertilizer production plant at the São Paulo mill is currently under evaluation. The proposed project involves reusing sludge generated in water and effluent treatment processes (WTP/WWTP), converting this material into fertilizer input. This project is another illustration of our commitment to circular economy principles and waste reduction. Another alternative under assessment is the production of biogas from this same sludge, which could be used as industrial fuel. This project is also being developed by the Research & Development team, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions.
At our Northeast paper mill in Feira de Santana (BA), several initiatives are being implemented, including the installation of drying and drainage boxes for sludge prior to landfill disposal. Additional initiatives at this facility include testing the use of sludge residues in our forestry operations in Bahia.
In our forestry operations in São Paulo, in 2025, more than 80% of the total waste generated was sent for recycling, converting by-products into inputs for other value chains.

Note 1: the waste volumes reported by the forestry and mill operations in Bahia include only the volumes that were effectively sent for destination in 2025, regardless of the year in which they were generated. This may result in differences between the total waste generated and the total waste destined in the same year. Additionally, 11.45 tonnes of non-hazardous waste from the Bahia Forestry unit remained in internal storage in 2025, pending destination in the subsequent cycle.
Note 2: for the Bahia Forestry unit, a total of 8.58 tonnes of non-hazardous waste was destined for recovery within the organization itself (FW tires and drained drums). For Bahia mill unit, a total of 7,521.19 tonnes of non-hazardous waste (lime mud and empty 1,000 L tanks [plastic IBCs]) was destined for recovery within the organization. All other waste generated by Bracell’s units (hazardous and non-hazardous) was sent for destination outside the organization.

GRI 306-5 Waste directed to disposal
At Bracell’s forestry and mill operations, some of the waste generated still requires disposal, such as landfilling, co-processing, incineration, and autoclaving. These include effluent treatment sludge, wood debarking waste, end-of-life truck and bus tires, rubber, glass, and contaminated materials.
In 2025, we implemented process and infrastructure improvements to reduce waste generation and improve waste management practices.
In our Bahia operations, construction of three new waste storage facilities is underway to enhance storage structure, improve handling, and support reuse processes. In addition, we developed a solution for waste sludge, knots and eucalyptus bark, which are mixed and used as organic compost to restore degraded forest areas. Due to its success, this initiative has now been incorporated into our routine operations.
In addition, the R&D department is advancing two major projects focused on the reuse of industrial by-products:
- Potassium sulfate plant: in 2025, a facility was built to produce potassium sulfate from a residue generated at the São Paulo mill, which will be used as a forestry fertilizer.
- New uses for waste materials: Tests are underway to evaluate the use of dregs, grits and other waste materials in the construction of service roads and as materials for building and construction applications.
At our Northeast paper mill in Feira de Santana (BA), several initiatives are being implemented, including the installation of drying and drainage boxes for sludge prior to landfill disposal. Additional initiatives at this facility include testing the use of sludge residues in our forestry operations in Bahia.
These initiatives are part of Bracell’s ongoing efforts to drive sustainable waste management solutions and directly support the environmental targets set out in the Bracell 2030 roadmap.
