From January to September 2020, the Prolata Project recycled just over 2,687 tons of steel packaging in the State of Paran\u00e1, according to a survey by the Prolata association. In the last quarter alone (from July to September) 1,301 tons of post-consumer steel cans were recycled, placing Paran\u00e1 in third place among the States that most recycle in the country in 2020 through the initiative.<\/p>\n
Paran\u00e1 is the state that has the most Prolata partner cooperatives: there are 20, located in the cities of Cascavel, Colombo, Curitiba, Fazenda Rio Grande, Londrina, Maring\u00e1, Reserva and S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Pinhais. Among them is Cooperativa Moranguinho, from S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Pinhais. According to Irineu Guimar\u00e3es, president of the cooperative, around four tons of steel cans are collected per month, coming especially from voluntary collection points (PEVs) of large retailers and schools in the region. The State also has three Prolata warehouses, located in the cities of Londrina, Maring\u00e1 and S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Pinhais.<\/p>\n
Created in 2012 by the Brazilian Association of Steel Packaging (Abea\u00e7o), Prolata aims to allow post-consumer steel cans to be correctly disposed of by consumers and revalued in steel mills, transforming them into new cans or other items that use steel as a raw material.<\/p>\n
Term of cooperation in Paran\u00e1<\/p>\n
In 2014, Prolata signed a cooperation agreement with the Secretary of the Environment of Paran\u00e1. The term consists of the expansion of efforts in the State, including warehouses, cooperatives and the regionalization of the volume removed from post-consumer steel cans. In addition to this, the association has three other terms signed with the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), with the GAEMA of Baixada Santista and with the Public Ministry of Mato Grosso do Sul.<\/p>\n
Prolata was the first management entity for reverse packaging logistics recognized by the MMA. \u201cOur goal is to create conditions for the steel can recycling chain to be easily accessible and reach most of the population, involving can manufacturers, product manufacturers, cooperatives, end consumers and the steel industry\u201d, explains Thais Fagury , president of Abea\u00e7o and director of Prolata.<\/p>\n
Throughout Brazil, Prolata has a partnership with 47 cooperatives, 18 warehouses and two steel mills, in addition to 46 PEVs, which accumulate more than 12 thousand tons of recycled steel cans from January to September 2020. \u201cOur goal is to reach 55 cooperatives and 25 partner warehouses by the end of 2020. All material collected and sold is linked to sales invoices between cooperatives and steel mills, ensuring the traceability of post-consumer steel packaging\u201d, concludes Thais.<\/p>\n
