Last week, Curitiba hosted the 1st Brazilian Conference on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory, an unprecedented event conceived by Sinergia Engenharia, which brought together leading figures and institutions focused on sustainability, emissions management, and the country's climate future. The conference featured an intense program, organized into thematic blocks, with lectures on climate change, regulations, emissions inventories, carbon offsets, life cycle analysis, and roundtable discussions.

Colorfix Masterbatches was one of the companies that participated in the event, bringing up topics that are currently being intensely discussed in the plastics processing sector. Superintendent Director Francielo Fardo presented the case study “Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Colorfix Case Study,” highlighting how the company has been innovating in reducing its carbon footprint in the industry. Environmental Manager Jackeline Campello participated as a panelist in Roundtable I, alongside representatives from companies such as Neodent, Arauco do Brasil, América Embalagens, and Supremo Cimentos, discussing challenges and opportunities in reporting scopes 1, 2, and 3.

With an annual production of nearly 3,000 tons of specialized masterbatches, Colorfix boasts a portfolio of around 90,000 colors and additives that improve both its customers' products and processes. Some of these products, including the Marble line and the Revora brand, are already part of the collection of the prestigious Material Connexion Innovation Library, located in New York (USA), which has more than 10,000 material profiles, carefully selected to bring the most innovative trends and technologies in the world.

In recent decades, the company has been working on sustainable solutions that meet the needs of society and the market. Although plastic is a recyclable material, negligence in its disposal and the difficulty in differentiating between types of resin leads many people to consider it harmful to nature.

The company recently launched the Colorfix Revora CO₂RE product, which was born from the vision of creating a positive impact on the planet and, through this, influencing companies and brands to adopt products that promote circularity and sustainability. The Colorfix Revora CO₂RE Carbon Reduced line is the embodiment of this vision, combining materials from various sources, including renewable polymers and recycled materials.

Following the circular concept, the entire line is tracked in relation to its carbon footprint, from raw material extraction, transportation, and production to the company's exit gate. This entire process uses a methodology based on ISO 14067, aligned with ESG certifications – ESG, which involves social, environmental, and governance practices, and the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), which provides proof of compliance with environmental, social, and traceability criteria, as defined by the European Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED).

Revora CO₂RE has 18 different compounds aimed at a wide range of segments, such as packaging, furniture, general parts, single-use products, decks, automobiles, agribusiness, and packaging that does not come into contact with food.
