Sector: industry | Process: GOLDEN WASTE
The Challenge
Suzano, a global leader in cellulose production for the paper industry, approached us with an ambitious challenge: their manufacturing process generates massive amounts of a by-product – material that had remained unused and without real value. With $40 billion in revenue and operations in 10 countries, Suzano wanted to explore how to transform this material from an environmental burden into a new growth engine that aligns with their sustainability and business innovation strategy. As a company controlling the entire value chain – from planted forests to consumer products – Suzano saw an opportunity to turn this by-product into an economically and environmentally valuable resource.
The Innovation
We developed a technological breakthrough for Suzano: a revolutionary raw material that’s transforming the plastics industry – a patent-protected, compostable and biodegradable plastic offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. This innovative material integrates seamlessly with existing plastic manufacturing technologies and enables a wide range of applications. The solution we created for Suzano delivers dual environmental impact – it transforms an industrial by-product into a valuable economic resource while simultaneously offering the world the next generation of green plastic.
