Reforestation and environmental preservation in Cabo de Sto. Agostinho and Duque de Caxias

At Cabo, LANXESS has a seat on the Pernambuco River Basins Committee and also participates in the project for reclaiming the riverbank forests along the Pirapama River. The industrial designs for the Cabo plant were altered, eliminating the distillation column with changes in the alignment of the galleries, resulting in environmental improvements.

Eleven hectares of land once covered by solid waste dumps have already been reclaimed by LANXESS in Duque de Caxias, through replanting seedlings of native mangrove swamp species grown in the nursery established alongside its plant. This nursery also provides environmental education and training for a variety of outreach projects, with visits by employees eager to help with these efforts.
