> environment
Santo Antônio HPP: Reference in Last year, the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Power Plant in Rondônia, which has Odebrecht Energia as an investor, recycled more than 15,000 tons of waste – including common garbage (paper and plastic) and industrial garbage (leftover concrete, steel scrap and pieces of wood). The volume represents 82% of the total generated by the construction work during the period. This work is undertaken at the Waste Management Center, which is divided into environments for each type of material to be recycled at the construction site itself and at other sites or is discarded. The utensils that are not reused, such as metal scrap, tires, plastic and paper, are sold to recycling cooperatives. With the paper recycling, over 5,200 trees have been saved since the installation of the construction site in 2008. The composting of leftover food from the cafeteria, mixed with pieces of shredded

Important initiatives were created based on this information. The project licensed the first sanitary landfill in the state of Rondônia, acquired a hazardous waste incinerator and two wood shredders, created the Waste Management Center with specific areas for each type of garbage and began to apply treatment via bioremediation, a process used to recover soil contaminated by oily products.
