Automation, flexibility, and safety were the guiding principles behind the project for Coca-Cola Andina Brasil's new plant in Duque de Caxias, Brazil. Certified LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council, the plant was designed to ensure the highest possible quality in both products and operations, to prioritize employee safety and well-being, and to promote environmental protection and sustainability.  The plant was designed with sustainability in mind. In this context, the technologies provided by the E80 Group played a strategic role in combining operational efficiency, safety, and resource conservation," explains Fausto Padrão Jr., Engineering Manager at Coca-Cola Andina Brasil. In addition to automation and the application of digital solutions, targeted choices—such as responsible water resource use, the inclusion of natural lighting and ventilation, and the preservation of a large ecological park within the plant's grounds—have made this initiative a recognized benchmark within the Coca-Cola system.

UNIDO’s Net Zero Partnership for Industrial Decarbonization (NZP-ID) is joining forces with five countries to accelerate the transition of energy-intensive industries like steel and cement toward a net-zero future: 1. Argentina: Designing cement industry decarbonization roadmaps and MRV systems. 2. Brazil: Driving policy, innovation, and investment through the Brazil-UK Industry Decarbonization Hub. 3. Morocco: Aligning industry targets with national climate plans and building finance strategies for key sectors. 4. Egypt: Helping CBAM-exposed sectors adopt low-emission pathways and stimulate local green demand. 5. Kenya: Strengthening MRV systems and embedding steel and cement targets into national climate policy. By combining capacity building, policy design, and financing strategies, NZP-ID adapts its support to each national context, while also enabling cross-country knowledge exchange. This work is made possible thanks to the International Climate Initiative, which supports climate and biodiversity action worldwide. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/giTK3PWB #NetZero #IndustrialDecarbonization #ClimateAction #Greensteel #Geencement

Starting the day after tomorrow, on August 1st, a new 50% tariff on Brazilian pulp exports to the U.S. will reshape global trade flows in the pulp and paper sector. Brazilian producers are poised to pivot to China and Europe, where tariffs don’t apply, while U.S. buyers will turn to Latin American neighbors (Chile, Uruguay) and Canada/Europe for supply. Tissue producers reliant on Brazilian BHKP face rising input costs, sparking interest in onshoring or integration strategies. * Chile (Arauco, CMPC): Gains share with competitive BEKP and capacity to reroute to the U.S. * Uruguay (UPM): Ramps up pulp exports to the U.S. * Canada: softwood pulp steps in - it moves fast and moves cheap. * Europe (Iberia/Nordics): Surplus BHKP targets premium segments. That said — don’t panic just yet. Smart players likely built buffer stocks on U.S. soil. And if cooler heads strike a deal in the next few weeks, this might just remain a threat that never materializes. #pulp #pulpandpaper #pulpandpaperindustry #packaging #packagingindustry #strategy #tissue #paper #paperindustry #fiber #fibre #supply&demand #tissuepaper #competitiveness #tariffs #globaltrade #trades #marketpulp #BEKP #BHKP

A 1 percent increase in exports led to a 0.4 percent rise in formal jobs in Brazil three years later, particularly in green sectors. Despite initial growth in environmentally risky jobs, this new analysis of municipal data from 2000–2020 reveals that export exposure eventually supports more durable, sustainable employment. With the right policy frameworks, export-led growth can drive both formalization and environmental resilience.
