So far this year, the programme has received 54,000kg of waste from more than 400 participants across SIG’s six hubs.

SIG South America sustainability manager Isabela de Marchi said: “Bringing this new unit, now in Campo Largo, shows that we are on the path of expansion and partnership with the programme and aligned with the objectives of the company’s global sustainability strategy, increasing the rates of packaging recycling in Brazil and encouraging people’s behaviour.

“And I am happy that this new location is in our home, since SIG’s industrial plant is located in Campo Largo.”

In April this year, SIG expanded its presence in India with the opening of its second production plant in Palghar, Maharashtra.
