Grupo Motta inaugurated the Forest Irrigation and Zero Effluent Project, 2.5 km from the Calisa plant, where the effluent treatment system is located that will supply the farm with irrigation water. It involves 4500 meters of pipes and 77.5 km of ditches to supply the 32 forested hectares.
The positive impact on the environment translates into benefits such as:
Reduction of the water footprint: by reusing treated water in industrial processes.
Carbon footprint reduction: implanted trees purify the air, delivering enough oxygen for a population of approximately 6,400 people.Minimization of the impact on the water resource: the root system of the trees acts as a biological filter, capturing the remaining organic load of the effluent.Circular Economy. Since fresh water is a limited resource (only 0.5% of the planet's total water is usable), the forestry project reuses the farm's wastewater, incorporating it as a key input in a new production process.Grupo Motta maintains the same focus in each of its projects, which is to harmonize soil, landscape and environmental conservation with economic and social development.
