GISI (Guaraí, Itabira and Santa Izabel) Ceramics - Brazil

Three small ceramics companies produce bricks for the regional market. Typically these industries use Heavy Fuel Oil for their furnaces. In addition to contributing to local air pollution, this risks the region’s fragile ecosystems, namely mangroves and Atlantic Rainforest. In a new approach to develop their activity within an integrated strategy for sustainability, with the support of this project, the ceramics started to use renewable biomass (wood waste and sawdust) from reforestation zones, to satisfy their thermal energy needs.
