The partnership between Prolata, a non-profit association dedicated to the reverse logistics chain for steel packaging, and the Civil Construction Union of the State of São Paulo (SindusCon-SP) already brings together 17 construction companies and 104 participating works.
Through the collection work of the startup Rafa Resolve, a partner of Prolata that operates in the civil construction waste market, the steel cans used in the construction sites are being destined for revaluation.
So far, 237,028 kg of cans have been collected.

Signed in October 2020, the partnership aims to strengthen the reverse logistics system, which enables the collection and return procedure of certain solid waste from the business sector, as provided for by the National Solid Waste Policy Law (PNRS) .
According to Thais Fagury, president of the Brazilian Association of Steel Packaging (Abeaço) and director of Prolata, packaging and waste originating from construction sites are generated by legal entities and the responsibility lies exclusively with the construction site. “The Prolata program offers a facility for disposal”, he emphasizes.
